Line 1 is parallel to line 2. If the slope of L1 is x/4, and the slope of L2 is (x+5)/6, what is the value of x.

If the lines are parallel, that means they have the same slope
Since they are the same we can say that
x/4=(x+5)/6
Then just algerbra from here
6*x = 4(x+5)
6x=4x+20
2x=20
x=10.

If the lines are parallel, that means they have the same slope. So x/4=(x+5)/6. Then you cross-multiply to get 6*x=4(x+5).
In the end you get x=10.

Slope is upward push over run. a nil slope says there is 0 upward push. A line that has an same x's has diverse y's which implise an strengthen! THAT RHYMES! so as which will be no slope. No slope because it has 0 run which skill it really is an outstanding determination divided through 0. no longer an outstanding determination for this reason no slope.

x/4 = (x+5)/6
x/4 = x/6 + 5/6
x/4 - x/6= 5/6
x /12 =5/6
x = 10

x/4=(x+5)/6
6*x=4*x + 20
2*x=20
x=10
