Answer:

The equation of the line is 2x - 3y = 7 ⇒ answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the relation between the parallel lines

- If two lines are equal then their slopes are equal

- We can make an equation of a line by using its slope and

 a point on the line

- If the slope of the line is m and passing through the point (x1 , y1),

 then we can use this form [y - y1]/[x - x1] = m to find the equation

* Lets solve the problem

- The line is parallel to the line 2x - 3y = 5

∴ the slope of the line = the slope of the line 2x - 3y = 5

- Rearrange the terms of the equation to be in the form

  y = mx + c to find the slope of it

∵ 2x - 3y = 5 ⇒ subtract 2x from both sides

∴ -3y = 5 - 2x ⇒ divide two sides by -3

∴ y = 5/-3 - 2x/-3 ⇒ y = 2/3 x - 5/3

∴ The slop of the line is 2/3

∵ The line passes through point (2 , -1)

* Lets use the rule to find the equation of the line

∵ y - (-1)/x - 2 = 2/3

∴ y + 1/x - 2 = 2/3 ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ 3(y + 1) = 2(x - 2) ⇒ open the brackets

∴ 3y + 3 = 2x - 4 ⇒ put x an d y in one side

∴ 2x - 3y = 3 + 4

∴ 2x - 3y = 7

* The equation of the line is 2x - 3y = 7

Whats the fraction 18/24 reduced to its lowest items?
asambeis [7]
Hello!

\sf Answer:

The fraction 18/24, reduced to its lowest terms, is: \boxed{3/4}
_____________________________

Divide both the numerator and the denominator by the GCD of 18 and 24, which is 6:

18 ÷ 6 = 3

24 ÷ 6 = 4

It's simplest form would be 3/4. This cannot be reduced further.
