Answer:

The slope is 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

–3x + 5y = 10

Rewrite the equation in slope intercept form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Add 3x to each side

5y = 3x+10

Divide by 5

y = 3/5 x + 10/2

The slope is 3/5

Write the equation of a line Parallel to the given line and passes through points (-4, -3); (2, 3). Hints find the slope by usin

julia-pushkina [17]

First, we obtain the gradient (slope) of the first parallel line

$\text{gradient, m}_1\text{ = }\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\text{ = }\frac{3-(-3)}{2-(-4)}=\frac{6}{6}\text{ = 1}$

Recall that since both lines are parallel, we have that,

$m_1=m_2$

Thus

$m_2\text{ = 1}$

Hence, we can find the equation of the parallel line given that it passes through the points (-4, -3)

Using

$\begin{gathered} y\text{ = mx + c} \\ \text{where m = m}_2\text{ = 1} \\ \text{and x = -4 , y = -3, we have} \\ -3\text{ = 1(-4) + c} \\ -3\text{ = -4 + c} \\ 4\text{ - 3 = c} \\ c\text{ = 1} \\ \text{Thus, the equation of the line is y = (1)x + 1} \\ y\text{ = x + 1} \end{gathered}$

Which of the following is the solution to 9|x +4|>54 ?

horsena [70]

Answer:

x>2 or x<-10

Step-by-step explanation:

9|x +4|>54

Divide each side by 9

9/9|x +4|>54/9

|x +4|>6

There are two solutions, one positive and one negative

x+4 >6 or x+4 < -6

Subtract 4 from each side

x+4-4 >6-4 or x+4-4 < -6-4

x>2 or x<-10

I don't know the answer but try using PEMDAS. (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and then Subtraction)
