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

PROVE :<br><br>sin^2(-300°).cos^2 (120)+ cos^2(-240 ).sin^2(390)=1/4​
leva [86]

Step-by-step explanation:

\sin {}^{2} ( - 300)  \cos {}^{2} (120)  +  \cos {}^{2} ( - 240)  \sin {}^{2} (390)  =  \frac{1}{4}

\sin {}^{2} (60)  \cos {}^{2} ( {}^{} 120)  +  \cos {}^{2} (120)  \sin {}^{2} (30)

\frac{3}{4}  \frac{1}{4}  +  \frac{1}{4}  \frac{1}{4}

\frac{3}{16}  +  \frac{1}{16}  =  \frac{4}{16}  =  \frac{1}{4}

How do you solve 18 - (-2)=
salantis [7]

Answer:

the answer would be 20

Step-by-step explanation:

so if 18-(-2)=?

two nwgatives make a positive. So the equation would turn into 18+2=20

Im not 100% if this is right but htis is how I was taught to do it.
