Answer:

y = x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, if the lines are parallel, they have the same slope, right? So that part is already complete

And to get the rest of the equation, plug in the points -2 and 1 into the equation for the x values. Then set the equation to solve for b

After you do that you should get b = -3

The slope is 1 and the y-int is -3

Thank me later ;)

Joaquin has a grade of 81 and 70 on her first two algebra test if she wants an average of 73 what possible score can she get on

Anvisha [2.4K]

81 + 70 + x = 3(73)
first multiply 3(73)

81 + 70 + x = 219
combine like terms

151 + x = 219
subtract 151 from both sides

x = 68

Joaquin needs to score a 68 on her next test to maintain an average of 73.

1 hour= 60mins

So to know how many words can she type in 1 min, we do the math "4800 : 60"

devin began running a month ago to get back in shape.the first day he ran .5 miles. each day after that he ran 10% more than the

SpyIntel [72]

The formula for the sum of the a finite geometric series is this:
Sn = a((1-r^n) / (1-r))

The given values are:
n = 30
a = 0.5 mi
r = 1.10 (10% more each day)

S30 = 0.5 ((1-1.10^30) / (1-1.10))
S30 = 82.25 mi

After 30 days, he will have traveled 82.25 miles.

You gave your little sister a good push on a swing and it made an arc of 12 ft. On the third swing it made an arc of 8.67 ft. Ho

jonny [76]

10.2 ft Ans.

We solve this using geometric series.

A1 = 12 ft
A2 = ?
A3 = 8.67ft
Now, for geomteric progression,

$\frac{A1}{A2} = \frac{A2}{A3} 

$

$\frac{12}{A2} = \frac{A2}{8.67}$

$A2 * A2 = (A2)^{2} = \sqrt{12 * 8.67 }$

A2 = 10.2 ft
