What is the slope of y= -1/2x - 5?

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is in slope intercept form:

y=Mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the t intercept

Compare y=Mx+b to the equation y=-1/2x-5

-1/2 is being multiplied by x, so it is the slope.

-1/2 is the slope and -5 is the y-intercept

answer: (c) m∠qpo + (2x + 16)° = 180°

step-by-step explanation:

the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary.

so, ∠o + ∠q = 180°   and   ∠p + ∠r = 180°

since ∠r = 2x + 16°, we can use substitution as follows:

∠p + ∠r = 180°

∠p + (2x + 16)° = 180°
