Write the equation of line in slope-intercept form. Line parallel to y=0.5x+3 that passes through the point (−9,12)
2 answers:
A line parallel to the given one will have the same slope, 0.5. For the purpose here, it is convenient to start with a point-slope form of the equation, then simplify. For slope m and point (h, k), the equation of the line can be written as
... y = m(x -h) +k
We have m=0.5, (h, k) = (-9, 12), so the equation is ...
... y = 0.5(x +9) +12
... y = 0.5x +16.5

Answer:
500 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the pressure applied to the leverage bar be represented by p
Let the distance from the object be represented by d.
The pressure applied to a leverage bar varies inversely as the distance from the object.
Written mathematically, we have:
Introducing the constant of proportionality
If 150 pounds is required for a distance of 10 inches from the object
- p=150 pounds
- d=10 inches
Therefore, the relationship between p and d is:
When d=3 Inches
The pressure applied when the distance is 3 inches is 500 pounds.
