Which equation represents the line that passes through (-3,5) and is parallel to the graph of y= -2/3x+5

1 answer:

4 0

Parallel to the graph of y = -2/3x + 5
means that it has the same slope

Rewrite
y = -2/3x + b
plug in the given coordinates to solve for b
5 = -2/3(-3) + b
5 = 2 + b
subtract 2 from both sides
3 = b

plug that back into the equation
y = -2/3x + b
y = -2/3x + 3

The answer is <span>B. y= -2/3x+3</span>

This line is parallel to y = -2/3x + 5 and it passes the point (3, 5).

Hope this helps :)

Check the picture below.

let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions.

$\stackrel{mixed}{7\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{7\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{15}{2}} ~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{12\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{12\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{25}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\stackrel{\textit{\Large Areas}}{\stackrel{two~triangles}{2\left[ \cfrac{1}{2}\left(\cfrac{15}{2} \right)(10) \right]}~~ + ~~\stackrel{\textit{three rectangles}}{(10)(15)~~ + ~~\left( \cfrac{15}{2} \right)(15)~~ + ~~\left( \cfrac{25}{2} \right)(15)}} \\\\\\ 75~~ + ~~150~~ + ~~112.5~~ + ~~187.5\implies \boxed{525}$
