parallel lines have the same exact slope hmmm what's the slope of y = 2/3x-7 anyway? well, low and behold, is already in slope-intercept form, therefore
.
so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 2/3, and runs through 3, -1.
Answer:
Tony make 4 half-court shots and misses 16 half-court shots.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Points earned for every successful, half-court shots =
Points deducted for missing the shots = or
Total number of shots in the game =
Final points earned by Tony =
According to the question:
Let the number of successful half-court shot be
And the number of shots missed be
So,
In terms of points we can re-write it as:

Tony make 'x' shots that is 4 and the number of shot he missed is (20-x) =(20-4)=16
