Answer:

Independent clauses:

dogs make great pets

Jessa joined the swim team

my brother loves drawing

Dependent clauses:

when I go to Ohio

because Kai forgot his book

Explanation: An independent clause expresses a complete or full thought and can stand on it's own. It does not need to depend on another, phrase, clause or word to make a complete meaning. The above examples above ;

''dogs make great pets''

''Jessa joined the swim team''

''my brother loves drawing''

are complete phrases or clauses and are easy to understand because they make complete sense.

Dependent clauses on the other hand are clauses or phrases that do not make complete sense or meaning and cannot stand on their own. They need other clauses, phrases or words to complete them if not the clauses will be difficult and hard to understand or comprehend. These examples are typical examples of dependent clauses; ''when I go to Ohio'' needs more information or a clause to complete the statement also ''because Kai forgot his book'' will need another clause or phrase to make it complete.

How does using a quotation add credibility to a writer’s ideas?

ohaa [14]

I think quotations are used as pieces of pieces of evidence when a person is writing an essay. It adds to the credibility of your essay, especially if they are cited properly. Aside from that, quotations are used as introductions to topics, to add more impact on the literary piece that you are working on.

6x + y = −30,

Ivan

36x + 6y = 24......reduce by dividing by 6
6x + y = 4...put in slope intercept form (y = mx + b)
y = -6x + 4

6x + y = -30...put in slope int form (y = mx + b)
y = -6x - 30

in y = mx + b form, the slope is in the m position and the y intercept is in the b position.

y = -6x + 4...slope = -6, y int = 4
y = -6x - 30 ...slope = -6, y int = -30

parallel lines will have the same slope but different y intercepts.......so this system of equations, if graphed, would be parallel

5 sentences on my favorite cartoon character

sukhopar [10]

Well my cartoon is Teen Titans Go!

And my favorite character is Ravan a.k.a Tara strong.

Here:

~ Raven, I believe is the strongest among the four other peers.
~ Raven is really brave.
~ She is pretty calm due to the purple dress (with a hoodle I believe) she wears that controls her.
~ She is fearless when it comes to take actions.
~ She is funny and aggressive to Beastboy (her crush) and hates disturbances when meditating.

Now you know my favorite character.
What is yours?
Hopefully this helped! :D :D
