76 or 77. 2/3 times x/115. 2 times 115 is 230. 230 divided by 3 is 76.6666666667.

There is a strong, negative relationship between outside temperature and snow shovel sales. As x increases, y decreases.

67. The line contains the point (4,0) and is parallel<br> to the line defined by 3x = 2y.

Answer:

$y=\frac{3}{2} x-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

<u>What we need to know:</u>

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$ where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

Parallel lines will always have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

<u>1) Determine the slope of the parallel line</u>

Organize 3x = 2y into slope-intercept form. Why? So we can easily identify the slope, m.

$3x = 2y$

Switch the sides

$2y=3x$

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y

$\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{3}{2} x\\y=\frac{3}{2} x$

Now that this equation is in slope-intercept form, we can easily identify that $\frac{3}{2}$ is in the place of m. Therefore, because parallel lines have the same slope, the parallel line we're solving for now will also have the slope $\frac{3}{2}$ . Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept</u>

$y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$

Plug in the given point, (4,0)

$0=\frac{3}{2} (4)+b\\0=6+b$

Subtract both sides by 6

$0-6=6+b-6\\-6=b$

Therefore, -6 is the y-intercept of the line. Plug this into $y=\frac{3}{2} x+b$ as b:

$y=\frac{3}{2} x-6$

I hope this helps!

I’m not entirely sure how to answer this without a word problem, but from what I see, all you have to do is multiply the two numbers.
12 x 43= 516
5 x 88 = 440
8x 63= 504
7 x 28= 196
Usually, when you see a number followed by another number in parentheses, like here, that means to multiply.

Ken went to the store for his mother. he spent $2.37 on groceries. in addition, his mother said he could spend 35¢ on candy. wha

Viefleur [7K]

$2.37 (the amount he spent on groceries) + <span>35¢ (or $0.35 he could spend on candy) = $2.72
Now you subtract this number from the five dollar bill to get the change.
5 - 2.72 = $2.28
His change was $2.28.
