Q: . Draculaura's natural hair is jet black - the better to complement her gorgeous pink streaks.

Divide your hair into two sections with a part straight down the middle of your head. Use hairbands to secure the pigtails. Tease the hair right next to the hairband to make it look like it has more volume. Use a curling iron to curl the ends and make them flip like Draculaura's do. Draculaura has a pretty goth look, with pale skin, dark eyes, and pops of cheerful pink.

A: Dye your hair black Put streaks in your hair Cut straight-across bangs Wear low pigtails. Make your face sweetly vampirish. Don't forget the fangs.

Q: Hold the crab under a stream of cold running water for a few seconds. This will get rid of any debris and dirt before you start cutting.   You can also use a small brush to get rid of any stubborn dirt.  Don't worry about their claws while you're holding them, since they're quite limp and not strong enough to pinch. Hold them by placing your thumb and finger on either side of the shell, just behind the pincer legs. Cut straight across the crab, just behind the eyes and mouth. The face side should come away in a 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) strip. Make sure to cut quickly in order to be as humane as possible.  You could also use a sharp pair of scissors or kitchen knife instead of kitchen shears.  This can be a difficult step, and for some it may be too traumatic to complete. If you would prefer not to do this step, you can purchase your crab already cleaned and cut from a fishmonger. " On the white bottom side of the crab, you'll find a flap, also known as the "apron." Lift it up and pull it off of the crab, then discard the piece. It should come away fairly easily, and because this piece is tough and chewy, it's important to remove it for a smooth dining experience. Discard the apron piece. On males, this flap is long and narrow, while on females, it's generally wider. Flip the crab back over and lift up one pointy side of its shell. This will reveal the gills, which look like fibrous, frilly, beige tongues. Pull the gills out by hand at the base, then lift up the other side of the shell and repeat the process. Once you've removed them all, you can discard the gills. Rinse away any extra debris or fat that may have squeezed out during the cutting. Pat the crab dry with a kitchen towel and place it in a bowl of ice to keep it fresh while you cook.  If you need to keep them longer, you can also wrap up the cleaned crabs in plastic wrap. Store them in the bottom of your refrigerator, where it's coldest, for up to 2 days.  If you end up not using them within 2 days, you can also keep them in the plastic wrap and freeze them for up to 3 months.
A: Give the live crab a quick rinse in cold water. Use kitchen shears to cut away the face side of the crab. Turn the crab over and cut away the “apron. Turn the crab over and lift the shell to remove the gills. Rinse and dry the crab, then place it on ice.

Q: The formula of a line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope, b is the y-intercept, and x and y are variables that represent coordinates on the line; generally, you will see them remain as x and y in the equation. In this form, you can easily determine the slope of the line as the variable "m". For example. Rewrite 4y - 12x = 20 and y = 3x -1. The equation 4y - 12x = 20 needs to be rewritten with algebra while y = 3x -1 is already in slope-intercept form and does not need to be rearranged. Oftentimes, the formula of the line you are given will not be in slope-intercept form. It only takes a little math and rearranging of variables to get it into slope-intercept.  For example: Rewrite line 4y-12x=20 into slope-intercept form. Add 12x to both sides of the equation: 4y – 12x + 12x = 20 + 12x Divide each side by 4 to get y on its own: 4y/4 = 12x/4 +20/4 Slope-intercept form: y = 3x + 5. Remember, when two lines are parallel to each other, they will have the exact same slope. Using the equation y = mx + b where m is the slope of the line, you can identify and compare the slopes of two lines.  In our example, the first line has an equation of y = 3x + 5, therefore it’s slope is 3. The other line has an equation of y = 3x – 1 which also has a slope of 3. Since the slopes are identical, these two lines are parallel. Note that if these equations had the same y-intercept, they would be the same line instead of parallel.
A:
Define the slope-intercept formula of a line. Rewrite the formula of the line in slope-intercept form. Compare the slopes of each line.
