How do you find the equation for the line that is parallel to the line y=2/3x-7 and passes through the point (3,-1)

Debora [2.8K]3 years ago

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

\bf \stackrel{\textit{slope-intercept form}}{y=\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{2}{3}}x-7}.


so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 2/3, and runs through 3, -1.


\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})~\hspace{7em} slope =  m\implies \cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-1)=\cfrac{2}{3}(x-3) \\\\\\ y+1=\cfrac{2}{3}x-2\implies y=\cfrac{2}{3}x-3

Annie tried to solve a problem step by step: 7.5 + k = 10 7.5 + k - 7.5 = 10 - 7.5 step 1 k = 2.5 step 2 Find Annie's mistake: A
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

(C) Annie did not make a mistake

Step-by-step explanation:

To isolate the variable k in the equation 7.5 + k = 10, we'd have to subtract 7.5 from both sides so we just had k on one side.

This is exactly what Annie did, and therefore, her answer is correct.

Hope this helped!

The distance d (in miles) you travel in a car is given by the two equations shown, where t is the time (in hours) and g is the n
lana [24]

We have two equations  d=55t and d=20g

The left sides of this equations are the same than the right sides are equal too

a)    55t=20g

b)   g=(55/20)t

c)  t=6h => g=(55/20) *6 = 165/10=16.5 gallons

d= 55t= 55*6=330 miles or d=20g=20*16.5=330 miles

Good luck!!!

What is the total cost of a sweatshirt if the regular price is $42 and the sales tax is 5 1/2
leonid [27]

Answer:

$44.31

Step-by-step explanation:

Regular Price = $42

Sales Tax Rate = 5  1/2% or 5.5%

The total cost would be the regular price PLUS the sales tax. We find the sales tax by finding 42's 5.5%.

First, converting percentage to decimal (dividing by 100):

5.5% = 5.5/100 = 0.055

Now finding 5.5% of $42:

42 * 0.055 = $2.31

Now, the total price is the SUM of regular and this sales tax:

Total Price = 42 + 2.31 = $44.31
