Answer:

-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4y=12

get into y=mx+b form first (m is the slope, b is the intercept)

So, 4y=12-3x

Then y=(12/4)-(3/4)*x

So your m is -3/4

Since you said it must be parallel the slope is the same to ensure they never touch

Allison has 6 blue pencils and 10 yellow pencils.sadie has 24 pencils that are either blue or yellow.the ratio of blue pencils t

sammy [17]

6 (Allison's number of blue) divided by 16 (Allison's total) is equal to x (Sadie's blue) out of 24 (Sadie's total).
So 6/16=3/8=x/24. So x=3*3, so Sadie's amount of blue pencils is 9. The rest of Sadie's pencils are yellow, so Sadie has 24-9=15 yellow pencils.
