m1=5,m2=0

compare the two slopes in the decimal form. if the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. if the slopes are not equal, then the lines are not parallel.

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870

to find the unit price of an object, you divide the price by object. you are trying to find out how much an object cost per unit.

for instance, lets say you have 50lb of ice cream(object) that cost 8.00 dollars(price). to find the unit cost, we take the 8.00 and divide it by 50, which will give us .16 cents per pound. we can check this by multiplying .16 by 50 = 8.00

so

object = e2

price = d2

unit price = c2

formula for c2:

=d2 / e2

so in my example about ice cream, we would have the following.

e2 = 50

d2 = 8.00

c2 formula:

=d2 / e2
