Answer:
y = 2/3x - 5 or in standard form 3y = 2x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember this fact: Parallel lines have the same slope
Step 1 Solve for y so that the equation is in the slope- intersect form
2x - 3y = 6
-3y = -2x + 6
-3y/-3 = -2x/-3 + 6/-3
y = 2/3 x -2
now we know the slope is 2/3 or
when the equation is in Standard form Ax + By = C you can use this fact: slope = - A/B so the slope = -2/-3 = 2/3
Remember the Parallel lines have the same slope
Find the y-intersect "b" use the slope = 2/3 and point (6, -1)
y = mx + b
-1 = 2/3(6) + b
-1 = 4 + b
-5 = b
Now write the equation of line that is parallel to the given line and passes through point (6, -1)
y = 2/3x - 5 or in standard form 3y = 2x - 5
More than $36 since its LESS THAN -36
we have 4 gals, Stephanie, Andrea, Emily and Becca.
btw the end point should be (-6, -7) and the start point is (8, 6).
so, if we know the distance between those two points, we can just cut it in 4 equal pieces and each gal will be driving a piece.
now, Emily's turn is after Andrea, BUT, we had first Stephenie driving ¼ of the way, then Andrea driving ¼ of the way too, but after ¼+¼, Emily comes on, but ¼+¼ is really 1/2, so when Emily starts, is really half-way through, or the midpoint of that distance.

Emily's turn ends ¼ of the way later, which will be pretty much half-way in between (1, -½) and (-6, -7), so is really the midpoint of those two.
