Parallel lines have the same slope.
To compare the slopes of two different lines, you have to get
both equations into the form of
y = 'm' x + (a number) .
In that form, the 'm' is the slope of the line.
Notice that it's the number next to the 'x' .
The equation given in the question is y = 3 - 2 x .
Right away, they've done something to confuse you.
You always expect the 'x' term to be right after the 'equals' sign,
but here, they put it at the end. The slope of this line is the -2 .
Go through the choices, one at a time.
Look for another one with a slope of -2 .
Remember, rearrange the equation to read ' y = everything else ',
and then the slope is the number next to the 'x'.
Choice #4: y = 4x - 2 . The slope is 4 . That's not it.
Choice #3: y = 3 - 4x . The slope is -4 . That's not it.
Choice #2). 2x + 4y = 1
Subtract 2x from each side: 4y = 1 - 2x
Divide each side by 4 : y = 1/4 - 1/2 x .
The slope is -1/2. That's not it.
Choice #1). 4x + 2y = 5
Subtract 4x from each side: 2y = 5 - 4x
Divide each side by 2 : y = 5/2 - 2 x .
The slope is -2 .
This one is it.
This one is parallel to y = 3 - 2x ,
because they have the same slope.

<h3>2/5 is your answer. </h3><h3>▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓</h3>
☞ First, 0.40 is the same as 40/100.
But we are not done.
<u>Now, doing this you need to find the GCF (Greatest common factor) of 40, 100.</u>
2 x 2 x 5 = 20.
☞ So our GCF is 20.
Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCF.
40 ÷ 20 / 100 ÷ 20.
<h2>Simplify to get ☞ 2/5.</h2><h2>▬▬ι══════════════ι▬▬</h2>
Best of luck on your assignment!

Angle-side-angle is a rule used to prove whether a given set of triangles are congruent. The ASA rule states that: If two angles and the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles and included side of another triangle, then the triangles are congruent
