Write an equation of the line that passes through (18, 2) and is parallel to the line 3y−x=−12

First isolate the "y" in the equation.

2y - x = -12 Add x on both sides

2y - x + x = -12 + x

2y = -12 + x   Divide 2 on both sides to get "y" by itself

y = \frac{-12 +x}{2}

y = -6 + \frac{x}{2}

Your slope is \frac{1}{2}.

For the equation of the line to be parallel to the given equation, the slopes have to be the same. So the parallel line's slope is also \frac{1}{2}

y = mx + b

y = \frac{1}{2}x + b

To find "b", you plug in the point (18,2) into the equation

y = \frac{1}{2}x + b

2 = \frac{1}{2}(18) + b

2 = 9 + b Subtract 9 on both sides

2 - 9 = 9 - 9 + b

-7 = b


Your equation is:

y =\frac{1}{2}x - 7

6. Priya and Jax are 20 miles apart in a path when they start walking towards each other. Priya
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

2 hours 30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one

Given data

The total distance to be covered= 20miles

Priya  runs at a constant speed of 6 miles an hour

Hence Her speed = 6mph

Jada walks at a constant speed of 2 miles an  hour

Hence Her speed = 2mph

let the time taken by them to cover the distance be t

Step two:

from speeed= distance/time

distance= speed*time

so

20=6*t+2*t

20= 6t+2t

20=8t

divide both sides by 8

t= 20/8

t=2.5 hours

That is, it wiil take them 2 hours 30 minutes to meet

The reason is because, the distances covered by them must sum up to 20 miles
