Audrey is trying to find the equation of a line parallel to y = 2 over 3x _5 in slope-intercept form that passes through the poi

nt (_6, _1). Which of the following equations will she use?
y − (−6) = 2 over 3(x − (−1))

y − (−1) = 2 over 3(x − (−6))

y − (−6) = 3 over 2(x − (−1))

y − (−1) = 3 over 2(x − (−6))

A line parallel to y = 2/3 x - 5 will have a slope of 2/3.
The equation of a line passing through (-6, -1) with a slope of 2/3 is
y - (-1) = 2/3 (x - (-6))

Answer:  The correct option is

(B) y-(-1)=\dfrac{2}{3}(x-(-6)).

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Audrey is trying to find the equation of a line parallel to y=\dfrac{2}{3}x-5 in slope-intercept form that passes through the point (-6, -1).

We are to find the equation of the line that she use.

The given line is

y=\dfrac{2}{3}x-5~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

Comparing the above equation with the slope-intercept form y=mx+c,, we have

\textup{slope, m}=\dfrac{2}{3}.

We know that the slopes of two parallel lines are equal.

So, the slope of the new line will also be

m=\dfrac{2}{3}.

Since the line passes through the point (-6, -1), so its equation will be

y-(-1)=m(x-(-6))\\\\\\\Rightarrow y-(-1)=\dfrac{2}{3}(x-(-6)).

Thus, the required equation of the line is

y-(-1)=\dfrac{2}{3}(x-(-6)).

Option (B) is CORRECT.

uysha [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate = $32/(5 pounds) = $6.40/pound

[You can convert that to smaller units:

$6.40/pound × (1 pound)/(16 ounces) = $0.40/ounce]

:::::

Cost = (number of pounds) × $6.40/pound

:::::

12 pounds × $6.40/pound = $76.80

What are the solutions to. x^2 - x - 20 = 0
nignag [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>x² - x - 20 = 0</em>

<em>x²</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>5</em><em>-</em><em>4</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em> </em>

<em>x²</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>5x </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>4x </em><em>-</em><em>2</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em>

<em>x </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em>

<em>(</em><em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em>)</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>x+</em><em> </em><em>4)</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em>

<em>Either</em><em>. </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em>

<em>x </em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em>

<em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>5</em>

<em>Or, </em>

<em>x </em><em>+</em><em> </em><em>4</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em> </em>

<em>x </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>4</em>
