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 always 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.

What is the domain of the function y=tan (x/8) Please Help 15 Points

1. You have the function $y=tan(\frac{x}{8} )$

2. You know that $y=\frac{sinx}{cosx}$ with $cosx\neq 0$ , because the division by zero is not defined. So , $cosx=0$ for $\frac{(2n+1)\pi}{2}$ where $n$ is a integer number.
