Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)
For lines to be parallel, they need to have the same slope.
y - 3x = 2 Add 3x on both sides to change the equation to slope-intercept form
y - 3x + 3x = 2 + 3x
y = 3x + 2 The slope is 3, so the parallel line's slope is also 3.
Now that you know the slope, substitute/plug it into the equation
y = mx + b
y = 3x + b To find "b", plug in the point (6, 1) into the equation, then isolate/get the variable "b" by itself
1 = 3(6) + b
1 = 18 + b Subtract 18 on both sides to get "b" by itself
1 - 18 = 18 - 18 + b
-17 = b
y = 3x - 17 Your answer is the 1st option
Answer:
The perimeter of the triangle can be expressed as 5x + 18.
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of an object is the sum of the length of its sides.
For the required triangle, we have;
length of the base = x
length of the second side = 3x + 9
length of the third side = x + 9
Perimeter of the triangle = length of the base + length of the second side + length of the third side
= x + (3x + 9) + (x + 9)
= x + 3x + 9 + x + 9
= 5x + 18
The perimeter of the triangle can be expressed as 5x + 18.
One would be negative and one would be positive the negative would have to be lower than -6
I did this manually on some notepaper but my scanner is not working.
The answer is 72 cm^2
