Answer:

the desired equation is y = 3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct form of this equation is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Any line parallel to the given y = 3x + 6 has an equation of exactly the same form except for the y-intercept (b = 6).

We must find an appropriate y-intercept. To do this, substitute 4 for x and 7 for y in y = 3x + C: 7 = 3(4) + C, or 7 = 12 + C, or C = -5.

Then the desired equation is y = 3x - 5

The graph of a proportional relationship passes through the point (6, 21). What is the equation for the relationship?

Kipish [7]

Answer:

The equation for the relationship is $y = \frac{7}{2}\cdot x$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that point $(x,y) = (6, 21)$ is part of a direct relationship. That is:

$y \propto x$

$y = k\cdot x$ (1)

Where $k$ is the proportionality constant.

If we know that $x = 6$ and $y = 21$ , then the proportionality constant is:

$k = \frac{y}{x}$

$k = \frac{21}{6}$

$k = \frac{7}{2}$

Lastly, the equation for the relationship is $y = \frac{7}{2}\cdot x$ .
