9x + 1 + 7x - 9 = 5x - 11
16x - 8 = 5x - 11
11x - 8 = -11
11x = -3
-3/11 = x
Recall that parallel lines have the same slope.
A line parallel to y= (-3/5)x + 8 would have the same equation EXCEPT for a different constant, C, replacing that '8.'
This new line passes thru (-5,-3). In y= (-3/5)x + C, replace x with -5 and replace y with -3. Then:
-3 = (-3/5)(-5) + C. Find C:
-3 = 3 + C. Thus, C = 6
Thus, the equation of the new line is y= -(3/5)x - 6
Check: Let x = -5 and y = -3. Is the above equation true?
-3 = (-3/5)(-5) - 6
-3 = 3 - 6, or -3 = -3.
Do you mean the percentage or just total value? 9.47-8.75=$0.72
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3y = -x + 6
y = -1/3x + 2
y - 3 = -1/3(x + 1)
y - 9/3 = -1/3x - 1/3
y = -1/3x + 8/3
