Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The line y = -2/3 x + 5 is in y = mx + b form, where m is the slope, so the slope of the given line is -2/3. Parallel lines have equal slopes, so the equation you are looking for also has slope -2/3.

The parallel line has equation

y = -2/3 x + b

We need to find b.

Since we are given a point, we substitute x and y with the x- and y-coordinates of the given point and solve for b. x = 6, and y = -3.

y = -2/3 x + b

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

-3 = -4 + b

1 = b

Now that we know b = 1, we can write the equation.

y = -2/3 x + b

y = -2/3 x + 1

A one-year-old car is now worth AED 12 000.

masha68 [24]

Answer:

AED 15,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Depreciation is a reduction in the value or worth of an asset as a result of use.

Given that the car is depreciated by 20%, it means that the value of the car after the application of depreciation is the result of the original price of the car less the amount of depreciation which has been given as 20% of the original price.

Let the original price of the car (its price when it was new) be T then

T - 0.2T = 12,000

0.8T = 12,000

T = 12,000/0.8

= AED 15,000

At least 100 students at a certain high school study Japanese. If 4 percent of the students at the school who study French also

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: Yes, Number of students who study French is greater than number of students who study Japanese.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of high school students study Japanese ≥ 100

Percent of high school students who study French also study Japanese = 4%

If the Percent of the students who Japanese also study French = 10%

So, our equation becomes

$0.04\times F=0.10\times J\\\\\dfrac{F}{J}=\dfrac{0.10}{0.04}=\dfrac{10}{4}$

With the help of ratio, we get that

Number of students who study French is greater than number of students who study Japanese.

Hence, Yes, Number of students who study French is greater than number of students who study Japanese.

5 ^6 − 5 ^11 = 5 x ( 1 − 5 y ) what is the value of x and y

Eva8 [605]

Is it 5^6 - 5^11 = 5x × (1-5y)?
5^6 - 5^11 = 5^(6-11) = 5^(-5) = 1/(5^5)
So 1/3125 = 5x - 5(5y)
1/3125 = 5(x-5y)
1/3125/5 = x-5y
0.000064 = x - 5y
