Answer:

y = 1/2 x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the lines are parallel, m1 = m2

y — y1 = m(x — x1)

Data obtained from the question include:

m = 1/2

x1 = —4

y1 = 1

y — y1 = m(x — x1)

y — 1 = 1/2(x — —4)

y — 1 = 1/2(x + 4)

y —1 = 1/2x + 2

y = 1/2x + 2 + 1

y = 1/2 x + 3

Bob has saved $535 each month for the last 3 years to make a down payment on a house. The account earned an interest rate of .34

Aleks [24]

Answer:

The account has $18,795.02.

Step-by-step explanation:

The account has $18,795.02.

3 years * $535 = $1,605

$1,605 * .0034 = $5.481

$5.481 * 36 (months) = $197.146

$18,795.02 = $1,605 + $197.146

A manatee eats the equivalent of about 12% if it’s body weight each day

labwork [276]

First, write a statement to define your unknown variable. This is technically not essential to solving the problem, but many teachers prefer to see it.

Example: Let w = the manatee's weight in pounds.

Next, decide what the variable needs to be multiplied by. 12% is equal to 0.12. Usually when a problem says "of," it wants you to multiply. Therefore, 12% of the body weight equals 0.12w. Since the problem already says that this is how much the manatee eats every day, that is your answer.

y = 0.12w

lys-0071 [83]

Here we are going to use the equation y=15x2+3x+56.
x=0 in 2,000 so x=10 in 2010.
Substitute 10 for x.
After this we have the answer: D. $1,586

1/3(r+6) = 1/6(r+8) How do I get r?

Alexus [3.1K]

Hi,

WORK:

$\frac{1}{3} \times (r + 6) = \frac{1}{6} \times (r + 8) \\$

Multiply both sides of equation by 3.

$r + 6 = \frac{1}{2} \times (r + 8)$

Distribute one half thought parenthesis.

$r + 6 = \frac{1}{2} \times r + 4$

Multiply both sides of equation by 2.

$2r + 12 = r + 8$

Move r variable to left side and change its sign.

$2r - r + 12 = 8$

Collect the like terms.

$r = 8 - 12$

Result:

$r = - 4$

Hope this helps.
