Hey there!

  • Answer:

\green{\boxed{\red{\bold{\sf{y = \dfrac{7}{6}x - 3}}}}}

\\

  • Explanation:

To find the equation of a line, we first have to determine its slope knowing that parallel lines have the same slope.

Let the line that we are trying to determine its equation be \: \sf{d_1} \: and the line that is parallel to \: \sf{d_1} \: be \: \sf{d_2} \: .

\sf{d_2} \: passes through the points (9 , 2) and (3 , -5) which means that we can find its slope using the slope formula:

\sf{m = \dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{\green{y_2} - \orange{y_1}}{\red{x_2} - \blue{x_1 }}}

\\

⇒Subtitute the values :

\sf{(\overbrace{\blue{9}}^{\blue{x_1}}\: , \: \overbrace{\orange{2}}^{\orange{y_1}}) \: \: and \: \: (\overbrace{\red{3}}^{\red{x_2}} \: , \: \overbrace{\green{-5}}^{\green{y_2}} )}

\implies \sf{m = \dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{\green{-5} - \orange{2}}{\red{ \: \: 3} - \blue{9 }} = \dfrac{ - 7}{ - 6} = \boxed{ \bold{\dfrac{7}{6} }}}

\sf{\bold{The \: slope \: of \: both \: lines \: is \: \dfrac{7}{6}}}.

Assuming that we want to get the equation in Slope-Intercept Form, let's substitute m = 7/6:

Slope-Intercept Form:

\sf{y = mx + b} \\ \sf{Where \: m \: is \: the \: slope \: of \:  the \: line \: and \: b \: is \: the \: y-intercept.}

\implies \sf{y = \bold{\dfrac{7}{6}}x + b} \\

We know that the coordinates of the point (0 , -3) verify the equation since it is on the line \: \sf{d_1} \:. Now, replace y with -3 and x with 0:

\implies \sf{\overbrace{-3}^{y} = \dfrac{7}{8} \times \overbrace{0}^{x} + b} \\ \\ \implies \sf{-3 = 0 + b} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \implies \sf{\boxed{\bold{b = -3}} } \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:

Therefore, the equation of the line \: \bold{d_1} \: is \green{\boxed{\red{\bold{\sf{y = \dfrac{7}{6}x - 3}}}}}

Answer:

y = \frac{7}{6} x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (9, 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5 )

m = \frac{-5-2}{3-9} = \frac{-7}{-6} = \frac{7}{6}

• Parallel lines have equal slopes , so

m = \frac{7}{6} is the slope of the parallel line

the line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 3 ) ⇒ c = - 3

y = \frac{7}{6} x - 3 ← equation of parallel line

The value of y is directly proportional to the value of x If y=81 when x=54, what is the value of y when x=38
Arisa [49]

Answer:

y = 57

Step-by-step explanation:

y α x

y = kx ; k = Constant of proportionality

81 = k* 54

k = 81/54

k = 1.5

Value of y when x = 38

y = kx

y = 1.5 * 38

y = 57

Hence, y = 57 when x = 38

Share 800 in the ratio 9:7.
bulgar [2K]

<u>Answer:</u>

  • The numerator '9's share is 450 and the denominator '7's share is 350.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u>Step-1: Add the ratios:</u>

  • 9 + 7
  • 16

<u>Step-2: Divide 800 by the sum of the ratios:</u>

  • 800 ÷ 16
  • => 50

<u>Step-3: Multiply 50 with each ratio:</u>

  • 9 x 50 = 450
  • 7 x 50 = 350

Hence, <u>the numerator '9's share is 450 and the denominator '7's share is 350.</u>

Hoped this helped.

Math help!! This is really difficult​
Reptile [31]

Answer:

y = -3/2 x +13

Step-by-step explanation:

We want our line to be perpendicular to

y = 2/3 x -1

The slope of this line is 2/3   (since it is written in the form y = mx+b and m is the slope)

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes

m = -(3/2)

The slope of our new line is -3/2

We can use point slope form of the equation

y-y1 - m (x-x1)

y - 7 = -3/2 (x-4)

Distribute

y-7 = -3/2x +6

Add 7 to each side

y-7+7 = -3/2 x +6+7

y = -3/2 x +13
