Answer: y = 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

m = slope = (change in the value of y in the y axis) / (change in the value of x in the x axis)

The equation of the given line is

y = 2x - 8

Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = 2

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have the same slope. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (- 3,-6) is 2

To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = 2, x = - 3 and

y = - 6 into y = mx + c. It becomes

- 6 = 2 × - 3 + c

- 6 = - 6 + c

c = - 6 + 6 = 0

The equation becomes

y = 2x

A total of 150 new recruits join an army training course. After one month, 30 have dropped out. what is the percentage decrease
Pachacha [2.7K]
So what will it be a percentage of? it will be the percentage of the original recruits, of the original 150.

for this, we need to divide the number of recruits that left over all recruits, and multiply by 100%:\frac{30}{150} *100%= \frac{1}{5} *100%=20%

so the number of trainees decreased by 20 %
