Parallel lines have the same slope.
so to find any line, you need a set of points, and a slope.
we already have the slope, being 3.
so, use the equation
y- (y-point)/ x-(x-point)=slope.
y-6. 3
---- = ---- (make it a fraction by puttingitover 1)
x-1. 1
cross multiply.
1(y-6)=3 (x-1)
y-6=3x-3
add 6 to both sides
Final answer: Y=3x+3
If they made this trade, it would make sense that Mark would also have to give Ella $200. This is because the difference in value is that amount in the favor of Ella. You can see that by subtracting the two values from each other.
$1000 - $800 = $200
Distribute the 5 into the polynomial to get 5a + 5b - a - b. Combine like terms to get 4a + 4b, your answer.
