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

300
Step-by-step explanation:
60 x 5 = 300
Answer:
There are 32 dogs and 72 animals in total.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the amount of dogs, you need to set up an equation to solve for the missing variable. Let 'c' be the amount of cats and 'd' be the amount of dogs. We know that there are 40 cats, so c = 40. We also know that there are 25% more cats than dogs, so we can form an equation to express this difference: 1.25d = c, indicating that the number of cats is equal to the total number of dogs, plus an additional 25%. Since we know c = 40, we can set our second equation equal to 40: 1.25d = 40. Using inverse operations, we divide both sides by 1.25 to get d = 32. So, d + c, or 32 + 40 = 72 total animals.
