Answer:

<em>y = -2/3 x + 1</em>

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

Solve the system..???​

Answer:

x = 1

y = 2

z = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

z=-2+3x - 2y Rearrange: x + 4y3z = 18 2xy-3z9 Substitute into one of the equations:

[x+4y-3(-2+ 3x – 2y) = 18

2x-y-3(-2+3x-2y) = 9

Apply Multiplicative Distribution Law: x + 4y + 6-9x+6y=18

[2x-y+6-9x+6y=9 Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation: x + 4y - 9x+6y= 18-6 2xy +6 9x+6y=9

Calculate the sum or difference:

x + 4y - 9x+6y= 12

2xy + 6-9x+6y=9

Combine like terms: -8x+10y = 12 -7x+5y+6=9 Reduce the greatest common factor on both sides of the equation: - 4x + 5y = 6 -7x + 5y + 6 = 9 Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation: -4x + 5y = 6 -7x + 5y = 9-6

Subtract the two equations: -4x+5y-(-7x

+5y)= 6-(9-6)

Remove parentheses: - 4x + 5y + 7x - 5y = 6

−9+6

Cancel one variable: - 4x + 7x = 6 - 9 + 6 Combine like terms: 3x = 6 - 9 + 6

Calculate the sum or difference: 3x = 3 Divide both sides of the equation by the coef

ficient of variable: x = 3/3 Calculate the product or quotient: x = 1 Substitute into one of the equations: -4+5y = 6

Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation: 5y = 6 + 4 Calculate the sum or difference: 5y = 10 Divide both sides of the equation by the coef ficient of variable: y = 10/5 Calculate the product or quotient: y = 2

The solution of the system is:

x = 1

y = 2

Substitute into one of the equations:

z = - 2 +3-2x2

Calculate the product or quotient:

z = - 2 + 3 - 4

Calculate the sum or difference:

z = 1 - 4

Calculate the sum or difference:

z = - 3 x = 1 y = 2 -3

The solution of the system is:

x = 1

y = 2

z = - 3
