The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

Where

m represents slope

c represents y intercept

The equation of the given line is expressed as

3x - 6y = 30

Rearranging it so that it will look like the slope intercept form, it becomes

6y = 3x - 30

Dividing both sides by 6, it becomes

6y/6 = 3x/6 - 30/6

y = x/2 - 5

Looking at the equation, slope, m = 1/2

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have equal slope. This means that the slope of the line parallel to the given line is 1/2

To determine the y intercept, c of the line passing through the point (4, - 9), we would substitute

x = 4, y = - 9 and m = 1/2 into the slope intercept equation. It becomes

- 9 = 1/2 * 4 + c

- 9 = 2 + c

c = - 9 - 2

c = - 11

By substtuting m = 1/2 and c = - 11 into the slope intercept equation, the equation of the line would be

y = x/2 - 11

Mr.Hollins determines that he gives away $800 each month. If he gives away 16% of his budget, how much is his overall budget?
oee [108]

\frac{800}{x}  = \frac{16\%}{100\%}  \\  \frac{80000}{16}  =  \frac{16x}{16}  \\ 5000 = x

X-26 over -9= 5 please help quick
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

x = -19

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x-26}{-9}=5

Multiply both sides of the equation by -9.

\frac{\left(x-26\right)\left(-9\right)}{-9}=5\left(-9\right)

x - 26 = -45

Add 26 to both sides.

x - 26 + 26 = -45 + 26

x = -19
