Answer:

slope of the parallel line = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope. To determine the equation of the other line, you need to transform the given linear equation into its slope-intercept form, y = mx + b:

-8x + y = 2

Add 8x to both sides to isolate y:

-8x + 8x + y = 8x + 2

y = 8x + 2 (this is the slope-intercept form where the slope (m) = 8, and the y-intercept (b) = 2).

Given that the slope of the first equation is 8, then we can assume that the slope of line parallel to -8x + y = 2 will also be 8.

Serggg [28]

37.5% of 32 is 12

if you move the decimal point in the percentage 2 places to the left you will get a number you can multiply with

so 0.375 x 32 = 12

Can someone solve and explain this question plz

oee [108]

firstly let's convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction, then hmmm let's see we have two denominators, 5 and 3, and their LCD will simply be 15, so we'll multiply both sides by that LCD to do away with the denominators, let's proceed,

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{3}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 3+1}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{7}{3}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{z}{5}-4=\cfrac{7}{3}\implies \stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{15}}{15\left( \cfrac{z}{5}-4 \right)=15\left( \cfrac{7}{3} \right)}\implies 3z-60=35 \\\\\\ 3z=95\implies z=\cfrac{95}{3}\implies z = 31\frac{2}{3}$
