Answer:
y= 3x-17
Step-by-step explanation:
When finding a parallel equation to y=mx+b, mx will always stay the same. So we have to find b.
In order to do this you plug the parallel lines passing point into the equation.
-5(y) goes into the y's spot. 4(x) goes into the x's spot.
-5 = 3 x 4 + b
-5 = 12 + b
-5 - 12 = 12 - 12 + b
-17 = b
y=3x-17
Since both y’s are negative you can combine them to make -6y=1 then you divide -6 on each Side to get y=6
1/6 (divide each by 2)
4/24 (multiply each by 2)
There are 12 inches in one foot. 120 x 12 = 1,440 inches. The correct ratio to be placed is the 5th one (aka 12 inches over 1 foot).
Are you sure it’s b or is it x?
