Melanie walked her dog 3 17/20 more miles than Cathay

First off, let's keep in mind that a "whole" is a 1 unit, namely, same/same, in this case, we can say that four fourths is one whole, namely 4/4 is 1 whole.

so, we know Melania walked her dog 2 and 1/5 miles, that'd be a whole, or 4/4.

we also know that Cathay walks hers 1 and 3/4 of that, hmmmm let's convert both fractions to "improper" and take it from there.

\bf \begin{array}{lccll}
&miles&\stackrel{whole}{fraction}\\
&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
Melania&2\frac{1}{5}&\frac{4}{4}\\\\
Cathay&x&1\frac{3}{4}
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{2\frac{1}{5}}{x}=\cfrac{\frac{4}{4}}{1\frac{3}{4}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{2\cdot 5+1}{5}}{x}=\cfrac{\frac{4}{4}}{\frac{1\cdot 4+3}{4}}

\bf \cfrac{\frac{11}{5}}{\frac{x}{1}}=\cfrac{\frac{4}{4}}{\frac{7}{4}}\implies \cfrac{11}{5}\cdot \cfrac{1}{x}=\cfrac{4}{4}\cdot \cfrac{4}{7}\implies \cfrac{11}{5x}=\cfrac{4}{7}\implies 77=20x
\\\\\\
\cfrac{77}{20}=x\impliedby \textit{Cathay does that many miles, what's their \underline{difference}?}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{Cathay}{\cfrac{77}{20}}~~-~~\stackrel{Melania}{\cfrac{11}{5}}\impliedby \stackrel{LCD}{20}\implies \cfrac{77-44}{20}\implies \cfrac{33}{20}\implies 1\frac{13}{20}

Line L passes through the points (0, --3) and (6,9).<br> (a) Find the equation of line L.
valentina_108 [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are :

(0,\:-3)=(x_1,\:y_1) \:\&\: (6,\:9)=(x_2 ,\:y_2)

Equation of line in two point form is given as:

\frac{y -y_1 }{y_1 -y_2 }  = \frac{x -x_1 }{x_1 -x_2 }  \\  \\  \therefore \frac{y -( - 3)}{ -3  -9 }  = \frac{x -0 }{0 -6 }  \\  \\  \therefore \frac{y  + 3}{ -12}  = \frac{x  }{ -6 }  \\  \\  \therefore \frac{y  + 3}{ 2}  = \frac{x  }{1}  \\  \\  \therefore  \: y + 3 = 2x \\  \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore  \: 2x - y - 3 = 0}} \\ is \: the \: required \: equation \: of \: line.

Which line is parallel to a line that has a slope of 3 and a y-intercept at (0, 0)?
saul85 [17]

Answer:

HJ

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two lines are parallel, then their slopes are the same

so

The slope of the line that is parallel to a line that has a slope of 3 is equal to 3

Verify the slope of the blue and red line , because their slopes are positive

<em>Blue line</em>

we have

C(-3,0),D(3,2)

The slope m is equal to

m=(2-0)/(3+3)

m=2/6

m=1/3

<em>Red line</em>

we have

H(-1,-4),J(1,2)

The slope m is equal to

m=(2+4)/(1+1)

m=6/2

m=3

therefore

The answer is the red line HJ
