Hello!

If a you want to find an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line, we must know that if two lines are parallel, then their slope will <em>always</em> have to be equal.

This means that the new equation must have a slope of -1/3.

Also, you would need to substitute the given point (6, 8) into the equation with the slope: -1/3 as well. Following these steps allows you to find the equation of line.

y = -1/3x + b (6, 5)

5 = -1/3(6) + b

5 = -2 + b (add 2 to both sides)

7 = b

Therefore, the equation of the line is y = -1/3x + 7.

I don’t understand this

Oxana [17]

You have to multiply whats outside the parenthesis with everything that is inside, so

$x^{-3}y^0.(x^2-3x^5y^4)$

$x^{-3}y^0.x^2-x^{-3}y^0.3x^5y^4$

Multiplication of same bases we sum the exponents

$x^{-3+2}y^0-3x^{-3+5}y^{0+4}$

$x^{-1}.1-3x^2y^4$

$x^{-1}-3x^2y^4$

Alternative B.

An electric guitar is on sale at 40% off. if the sale price is 179.94 ,what is the original.

n200080 [17]

Let x = original price
Knowing that multiplying the original price and the discount is the discount price. We formulate:
x(1 - 0.40) = 179.94
x(0.60) = 179.94
x = 179.94/0.60
x = 299.9
That is about 300 of the original price.

Please help and mind explaining if so thank you!

mel-nik [20]

Its increasing by 4 so it is 4x

The y intercept(other missing value) is 18

34-4=30

30-4=26

26-4=22

22-4=18

So its 4x+18
