Question

The slope of line 1 is equal to five less than twice the slope of line 2. If the slope of line 1 is equal to -2/3, what is the slope of line 2.

Answer 1

Answer:

The slope of the line 1 = 13/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the slope of line 2 be x.

Now according to the question: 2x - 5 = slope of line 1

$\therefore2x-5=-\frac{2}{3}\\\\\implies2x=5-\frac{2}{3}\\\\\implies2x=\frac{13}{3}\\\\\implies x=\frac{13}{6}$
