9 and 5/12 - 3 and 2/3

1 answer:

5 0

Recall to always convert the mixed fractions to "improper" fractions first,

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{9\frac{5}{12}}\implies \cfrac{9\cdot 12+5}{12}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{113}{12}}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{mixed}{3\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{3\cdot 3+2}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{11}{3}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\cfrac{113}{12}-\cfrac{11}{3}\impliedby \textit{clearly our LCD is 12}\implies \cfrac{113-(4)11}{12}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{113-44}{12}\implies \cfrac{69}{12}\implies 5\frac{9}{12}$

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, 7) and is PARALLEL to the line y = -4x + 1.

qwelly [4]

Answer:

The equation is $y=x-9$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want a line parallel to the line in the problem it will have the same slope. The equation given in the problem is already in slope intercept form so we can take the slope for the new equation directly from this equation.

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is: $y=mx+b$
