y = mx + b

"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)

You need to find "m" and "b"


For lines to be parallel, the slopes have to be the same.

The given line's slope is 1/2, so the parallel line's slope is also 1/2.

y = 1/2x + b

To find "b", you can plug in the point (10, -5) into the equation.

y = 1/2x + b

-5 = 1/2(10) + b

-5 = 5 + b    Subtract 5 on both sides to get "b" by itself

-10 = b


y = 1/2x - 10    Your answer is D (you could have just found the slope to get your answer, since all the slopes are different)

Productive use of machinery on a farm made it possible to decrease the number of tractors by 12. How many tractors does the farm
frez [133]
1. the answer is 24. think of x as the original amount, and y as the new amount. y times 1.5 is x, and y+12 is x. reverse that to figure out y, which is what we need, and you have x/1.5 = y as well as x-12 = y. Use the equal values method and make an equation x/1.5=x-12. solve this equation to get x, which is 36. to figure out the new amount, y, you need to subtract 12, which would help you get 24 as your final answer. 

2. once again, create an equation. let's call team 1 x and team 2 y. team one has 1/4th as many as team 2, so that would be x=1/4y. An easier way to write that is 4x=y. after 6 people quit team two, that would be y-6. after the transfer, that would be y-6-12, and x+12 for the teams. they are equal after these, so y-6-12=x+12. solve this equation to get y-18= x+12. if you recall earlier, y was 4 times x, so substitute that into y to get 4x-18=x+12. Solve the equation to get 10 people on team one originally. your final answer is 10 people.
