Use a 9 instead of a ten. for example, 7/(9 x 10) = 7/90
Answer:
parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have equal slopes.
Calculate the slopes m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 3)
m = 
= 
Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, 1)
m = 
=
Since slopes are equal then parallel
5x - 7y =58
y =-x +2
Using the substitution method, replace y in the first equation with the second equation:
5x - 7(-x+2) = 58
Simplify by using the distribution property:
5x - (-7x) - 14 = 58
Simplify by combining like terms:
12x -14 = 58
Add 14 from each side of the equation:
12x = 72
Divide both sides by 12:
X = 72/12
x = 6
Now you have x, replace x in the second equation and solve for y:
y = -x +2
y = -6 +2
y = -4
X = 6, y = -4
5/8 - 2/8, because you need common denominators, therefor the answer is -3/8
