1) Write out what you know
       Blue: 5/8
       Green: 5/9 (of 3/8 because it is the remaining parts) so 5/24
       Red: 1 - (5/8 + 5/24) = 1/6
2) Find the total amount of people
       You know that 1/6 of the population is 48, so the total population is 288 (48×6)
3) Multiply the total population by the fractions to get the number of votes
       Blue: 288 × 5/8 = 180 votes
       Green: 288 × 5/24 = 60 votes

Check: 180 + 60 + 48 = 288 votes

1. y = -x - 2...slope here is -1. A parallel line will have the same slope

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -1
(2,-2)...x = 2 and y = -2
now we sub and find b, the y int
-2 = -1(2) + b
-2 = -2 + b
-2 + 2 = b
0 = b

so ur parallel equation is : y = -x
=========================
2. -1 = -3/2(2) + b
    -1 = -3 + b
    -1 + 3 = b
     2 = b
parallel equation is : y = -3/2x + 2
==========================
3. parallel equation is : x = 4
==========================
4. 3 = 1/2(-2) + b
    3 = -1 + b
    3 + 1 = b
    4 = b
parallel equation is : y = 1/2x + 4
===========================
5. y + 0 = 2(x - 5)
    y = 2x - 10 <== parallel line
============================
6. neither
============================
7. if ur second equation is : 2x + y = 7, then the lines are parallel
============================
8. neither
============================
9. sometimes
============================
10. never
