What is the slope of the line parallel to y=2/5x-1?
I really need help with this fast please

The slope will be 2/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

is written in slope-intercept form.

This formula looks like:

where:

So:

1 ). For two lines to be parallel they must have the same slope.

2 ). For two line to be perpendicular they must have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.

As the question states, we must find the slope of a line parallel to the equation given. This means that the slope will remain 2/5.

Lets check our work!

Choose a random ordered pair. I will choose (5, 6).

Now, using point slope-form we can find out if what was said above is true!

This formula looks like:

Let us substitute:

Distribute:

Add 6 to both sides:

Now using both equations I will plot them on a graph to see if they a parallel.

As you can see from the graph below, these lines are parallel. Where the equation you were given is in blue and the equation I made is in red.

Based on all of the evidence, the slope will be 2/5.

Hope this helped! :)

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!

ummm seems that u didnt post the attachement !
