Answer:

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to consider the equation of a line ( in slope - intercept form ) that is parallel to y = 3, and passes through the point ( 0, 6 ). Now y = 3 can be plotted as a horizontal line that passes through the point ( 0, 3 ). If we want a line that is parallel to this, it must be horizontal as well;

Let us consider the second point now. This line must pass through the point ( 0, 6 ). We can conclude that the line must be 1. Horizontal, and 2. Pass through point ( 0, 6 );

Equation - y = 6

Round 117.22666 to the nearest tenths

Answer:

117.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Rounding a number to the nearest tenth:

A number rounded to the nearest tenth will have one decimal place.

To do this, we look at the second decimal digit.

If it is less than 5, the first decimal digit is kept.

Otherwise, one is added to the first decimal digit.

In this question:

117.22666

The second decimal digit is 2, which means that we keep the first decimal digit which is also 2.

So, the number rounded to the nearest tenth is 117.2.
