Hi there! The answer is y = -3x - 21

Let's set up the equation of the line step by step! First we need to know that we need to set up an equation in slope-intercept form. We get the following:

y = ax + b.
a represents the slope of the line.
b represents the intercept with the y-axis.

Since our new line is parallel to y = -3x + 1, both lines have the same slope. Therefore the slope of our line, which is represented by a, is -3.

y = -3x + b.
We also know that this line goes through the point (-5, -6) and therefore we can plug in these coordinates into our formula.

-6 = -3 × -5 + b
Simplify

-6 = 15 + b
Subtract 15

-21 = b
Switch sides

b = -21
Hence, y = -3x - 21

~ Hope this helps you!

A girl is 18 years old and her brother is a third of her age. When the girl is 36 what would be the age of the brother?

ale4655 [162]

First we need to calculate how many years her brother has when she is 18. As text says he is:
18/3 = 6 years old

Now when she gains another 18 years (36-18=18) he will also gain those 18 years

When she is 36 he will have 6+18=24 years old

Answer is 24.

melisa1 [442]

when given SAS, the area (A) of the triangle = (side1 · sin θ · side2)/2

A = (36 · sin 45° · 36)/2

= (36² · √2)/4

= 9 · 36 · √2

= 324√2

≈ 458.2

4. The Bulldog Theater charges $9.10 for each adult ticket and $7.75 for each student ticket. Mrs. Williams purchased 7 tickets

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

Two adult tickets and 5 student tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a=adult tickets Let s=student tickets

You know that each adult ticket is $9.10 and each student ticket cost $7.75. At the end, it cost $56.95 for both students and adults so the first equation should be 9.10a+7.75s=56.95. To get the second equation, you know that Mrs. Williams purchased 7 tickets in total that were both students and adults. Therefore, the second equation should be a+s=7. The two equations are 9.10a+7.75s=56.95

a+s=7.

Now, use substitution to solve this. I will isolate s from this equation so the new equation should be s=-a+7. Plug in this equation to the other equation, it will look like this 9.10a+7.75(-a+7)=56.95. Simplify this to get 9.10a-7.75a+54.25=56.95. Simplify this again and the equation will become 1.35a=2.70. Then divide 1.35 by each side to get a=2. This Mrs. Williams bought two adult tickets. Plug in 2 into a+s=7, it will look like this (2)+s=7. Simplify this and get s=5. This means Mrs. Williams bought five adult tickets. Therefore she bought 2 adult tickets and 5 student tickets.

Hope this helps
