the equation of the line is
y = -3x + 6
slope is m = -3
as we know that for parallel lines, the slope is always equal.
so the slope of the new line is also m = -3
it is also passing through (-4,9)
so the equation of the line i s
m= -3
so the answer is y = -3x - 3
The slope-intercept form of a line is:
y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intercept (value of y when x=0)
First you must find the slope, or m value.
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1), which is the change in y divided by the change in x. In this case:
m=(5--3)/(-4--1)
m=(5+3)/(-4+1)
m=8/-3
m=-8/3
So far our line is:
y=-8x/3+b, we can now solve for the y-intercept, or b, using any point on the line, I'll use (-4,5):
5=-8(-4)/3+b
5=32/3+b
15/3=32/3+b
15/3-32/3=b
-17/3=b
So now we know the value for both terms in our line:
y=(-8x-17)/3
6 groups of five people
because 30/5 = 6
so 6 groups
Answer:
6, and 18
Step-by-step explanation:
A ratio of 1:3 contains 4 parts because 1+3=4.
Therefore, divide 24 by 4 to get 6.
The number is split between three parts and one part, so the parts are 3(6) and 1(6).
The parts are 6 and 18
