2x-3y=6
3y=2x-6
y=2/3x-2
Slope = 2/3

Therefore B

Answer:

B. 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope

We need to find the slope of the given line

2x-3y =6

Solve for y

Subtract 2x from each side

2x-2x-3y =-2x+6

-3y = -2x+6

Divide each side by -3

-3y/-3 = -2x/-3+6/-3

y = 2/3 x -2

This is in slope intercept form(y =mx+b) where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

The slope is 2/3

Answer:

The complement is 53 and the supplement is 143

Step-by-step explanation:

Two complementary angles add to 90

PQR and x = 90

37+x = 90

Subtract 37 from each side

37-37 +x =90-37

x = 53

The complement is 53

Two supplementary angles add to 180 degrees

PQR and x = 180

37+x = 180

Subtract 37 from each side

37-37 +x= 180-37

x = 143

The supplement is 143
