The line that contains the point Q( 1, -2) and is parallel to the line whose equation is

Let's call this line y=mx+C, whereby 'm' will be its gradient and 'C' will be its constant.

If this line is parallel to the line you've just mentioned, it will have a gradient 2/3. We know this, because when we re-arrange the equation you've given us, we get...

y-4=\frac { 2 }{ 3 } \left( x-3 \right) \\ \\ y-4=\frac { 2 }{ 3 } x-2\\ \\ y=\frac { 2 }{ 3 } x-2+4\\ \\ y=\frac { 2 }{ 3 } x+2

So, at the moment, our parallel line looks like this...

y=(2/3)*x + C

However, you mentioned that this line passes through the point Q(1, -2). If this is the case, for the line (almost complete) above, when x=1, y=-2. With this information, we can figure out the constant of the line we want to find.

-2=(2/3)*(1) + C

Therefore:

C = - 2 - (2/3)

C = - 6/3 - 2/3

C = - 8/3

This means that the line you are looking for is:

y=(2/3)*x - (8/3)

Let's find out if this is truly the case with a handy graphing app... Well, it turns out that I'm correct.

son4ous [18]

Answer:

GCF: 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Factors are numbers that can be evenly divided into another number. The greatest common factor of a set of numbers is the biggest number than can evenly divide into all the the numbers.

Let's list the factors of 60, 45 and 82

Factors of 60:

<u>1</u>, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60

Factors of 45:

<u>1</u>, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45

Factors of 82:

<u>1</u>, 2, 41, 82

The greatest factor that all 3 numbers share is 1.

-6.4x + 3.5y = 7? what is the slope
DochEvi [55]

6.4/3.5, OR about 1.83

First job is to isolate the y.

3.5y=6.4x+7

Now divide both sides by 3.5 to get the equation into y=mx+b form.

That leaves a rounded equation of y=1.83x+2

In y=mx+b, the m is the slope. This means the slope of this line is 1.83, or 6.4/3.5
