Write an equation that goes through the point (-4, 6) and is parallel to y=-3x+4

1 answer:

6 0

In order for two lines to be parallel, they have to have the same slope (m) so we already know that the question is: y= -3x + b

In order to find b, we need to plug in the coordinate (-4,6) into the x and y and solve.

6= -3(-4) + b
6= 12 + b
-6 = b

This then means that the equation is y= -3x-6

$(\stackrel{x_1}{\frac{5}{6}}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -3 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{0}=\stackrel{m}{-3}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{\frac{5}{6}})$

Jan rode to her friend's house with a constant speed of 14 m/hr. How long will she take to

sammy [17]

Answer:

1.07 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

14 miles = 1 hour

15 miles = x hours

Equal these two together

14 mi/1hr = 15 mi/xhr

Cross multiply

14 mi × x hr = 1 hr × 15 mi

I will stop using the units for now so it won't be as confusing

14x = 15

Divide both sides by 14 to isolate the variable

14x ÷ 14 = 15 ÷ 14

x = 1.07... hours
