Hello!

To find the line parallel to the line y = -2/3x + 1 and passing through the point (-6, -1), we will need to know that if two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equivalent to each other.

Since we are given the slope, we need to find the y-intercept of the line. We can find the y-intercept by substituting the point (-6, -1) into a new equation with the slope of m = -2/3. Remember that slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.

y = -2/3x + b (substitute the ordered pair)

-1 = -2/3(-6) + b

-1 = 4 + b (subtract 4 from both sides)

-5 = b

Therefore, the equation of the line passing through the point (-6, -1) and parallel to y = -2/3x + 1 is y = -2/3x - 5.

If f(x)=2x^2-x-6 and g(x)=x^2-4 find f(x)/g(x)

DENIUS [597]

$\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\dfrac{2x^2-x-6}{x^2-4}\\
\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\dfrac{2x^2-4x+3x-6}{(x-2)(x+2)}\\
\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\dfrac{2x(x-2)+3(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+2)}\\
\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\dfrac{(2x+3)(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+2)}\\
\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}=\dfrac{2x+3}{x+2}$

System by graphing with problem -3x+2y=6,y=3

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Just graph it:

Step-by-step explanation:

First make a x, y table to graph -3x+2y=6.

you plug in random numbers that are easy to solve for example plug 0 for x. You get y=3. (0,3) then plot that point and so on.

for the second one when y is qual to . just a number its a horizontal straight line that cross the y at the number which is 3.

What is the greatest common factor <br> 15abc^2 and 25a^3bc

postnew [5]

To find the greatest common factor, first find the largest evenly divisible number that you can take out in both numbers, in this case 15 and 25. Then find the greatest or highest number of each variable that you can evenly take out or divide in both terms, this is for a, b and c.

So GCF of 15 and 25 would be 5
GCF of a = a^1 or a
GCF of b = b^1 or b
GCF of c = c^1 or c
Put everything together to find the GCF.
GCF = 5abc.
