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

You decide to put $150 in a savings account to save for a $3,000 down payment on a new car. If the account has an interest rate
zheka24 [161]
The formula is
A=p (1+r/k)^kt
A future value 3000
P present value 150
R interest rate 0.025
T time?
3000=150 (1+0.025/12)^12t
Solve for t
3000/150=(1+0.025/12)^12t
Take the log
Log (3000/150)=log (1+0.025/12)×12t
12t=Log (3000/150)÷log (1+0.025/12)
T=(log(3,000÷150)÷log(1+0.025÷12))÷12
T=119.95 years
