Write an equation that is parallel to y = 3x and passes through (-4 , -3)
1 answer:
The slopes of two parallel lines must be identical.
We have slope
, so the slope for the parallel line be the same.
Now, to find an equation that also passes through the given point, we use slope-point form,
, where our point 
is substituted for 
.
Now, we convert to slope-intercept form as such.
And we are done. :) We can verify graphically that these are indeed parallel lines. See attached.

Graph this compound inequality 2.5 is equal to or less than x is equal to or less than 4.5
2.5 <= x < = 4.5
We graph this inequality using number line.
Here x lies between 2.5 and 4.5
While graphing, we start with closed circle at 2.5 because we have equal symbol .
Then shade till 4.5. Use closed circle at 4.5.
The graph is attached below.
