Answer:5.86 9.26
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
m = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>If two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal. </u>
The slope of x - axis is 0
(why?)
because, slope of a line is given by

Θ is the angle made by the line with the x- axis.
Here, the line in question is the x- axis itself, and every line makes an angle of 0° with itself.
=> Θ = 0
=> tan Θ = 0
=> slope = 0
and the line in blue is parallel to the X- axis, therefore, it's slope is also 0
(also, a line makes an angle of 0° with the line it's parallel to)

Answer: <em>m = 7</em>
Step-by-step explanation: In this equation, since a -5 is being multiplied by <em>m</em>, in order to get <em>m</em> by itself, we must divide both sides of the equation by -5.
On the left side, our -5's cancel out and we are left with <em>m</em>. On the right side, -35 ÷ -5 gives us 7. So m = 7.
To check our answer, we plug 7 back in for <em>m</em> in the original equation and we get -5 (7) = -35 which is a true statement so we know our answer is correct.
