Answer:
y=-3x+12
Step-by-step explanation:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-6=-3(x-2)
y-6=-3x+6
y=-3x+6+6
y=-3x+12
Y = -3x + 6....the slope here is -3. A parallel line will have the same slope.
y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3
(-4,7)....x = -4 and y = 7
now we sub into the formula and find b, the y int
7 = -3(-4) + b
7 = 12 + b
7 - 12 = b
-5 = b
so ur parallel equation is : y = -3x - 5 <==
Its 15 boats bcuz...252+288=540 and 540/36= 15 boats :D
