Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:in standard form y= ax+b
-4y = -3x+28
4y =3x-28
or y= 3/4 x -7
So a= 3/4 = slope and -7 is y intercept ( parallel lines have same slope)
Equation 3 is
y= 3/4x-2
which also has slope = 3/4 and y intercept = -2
Parallel lines have same slope
Similarly a perpendicular line will have slope of - 1/a
For equation
y= ax+b
Perpendicular line is
y=( -1/a) x +c
Answer:
y=3x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
54 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Joyce age = x
Alex age = y
3x = 2y - - - (1)
y - 9 = 2(x - 9)
y - 9 = 2x - 18
-9 + 18 = 2x - y
9 = 2x - y
y = 2x - 9 - - (2)
3x = 2y
3x = 2(2x - 9)
3x = 4x - 18
18 = 4x - 3x
18 = x
Hence,
Mrs stone is 3 * 18 = 54 years
