First calculate the function of x-2y=6:
x-2y=6 | - x
-2y=6-x | ÷ (-2)
y=0.5x-3
Now you have the function. Because the slope you search is parallel to this one, the slope is the same (in this case 0.5). A slope of 0.5 means for 2 steps to the right go one up. To define the function you are searching you have to find out the y intercept. For this take your point (-2|4). Now go as many steps to the right until you reach the y intercept or x=0 in this case you need 2 steps. So for 2 steps right you go one up. Now you have the y intercept (5).
The resulting function is: f(x) = 0.5+6.
40% of 85 is 34 so 85-34=51
51 is your answer
Subtract that number down so its a
We use the given data above to calculate the volume of gasoline that is being burned per minute by commercial airplanes.
Amount burned of 1 commercial airplane = <span>3.9 × 10³ ml of gasoline per second
Number of airplanes = </span><span>5.1 × 10³ airplanes
We calculate as follows:
</span> 3.9 × 10³ ml of gasoline per second / 1 airplane (5.1 × 10³ airplanes)(60 second / 1 min ) = <span>1.2 x 10^9 mL / min</span>
