parallel lines have the same slope


The slope-intercept form of a linear equatio is y=mx+b, where m stands for the "slope of the line" and b stands for the "y-intercept of the line"


They give you the equation y= -5/6x+3 Notice this is already on the slope-intercept form, so in this case the slope is -5/6 and the y-intercept is 3


You want an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line. The slopes must be the same, so m=-5/6


So far we have y=-5/6x + b

We don't have b yet but that can be found using the given point (6,-1) which tells you that "x is 6 when y is -1"


Replace that on the equation y=-5/6x + b and you get

-1 = (-5/6)(6) + b

-1 = -5 +b

4 = b

b = 4


We found b, or the y-intercept


Go back to the equation y = -5/6 x + b and replace this b with the b we just found


y = -5/6x + 4

25ft+25ft+20ft+20ft+2.5ft+2.5ft+8ft+13ft
Anna71 [15]

we are given

25ft+25ft+20ft+20ft+2.5ft+2.5ft+8ft+13ft

Since, every value is in ft

so, we can take out ft

=(25+25+20+20+2.5+2.5+8+13)ft

now, we can add them

and we get

=116ft............Answer

Leah is writing an equivalent equation which solves for y. What should be her next step? 3x+4y=8 Add 4y to both sides of the equ
ratelena [41]

The given equation is

3x+4y=8

And we have to solve for y.

Solving for y, means isolating y . And to isolate y, we need to get rid of 4 that is with y .

It means we have to separate 4 from y, and for separation , we have to perform division. That is, we have to divide both sides by 4, and that will be the next step .

So out of the four options, correct option is the last option .
