Step 1
<u>Find the slope of the given line</u>
we have

Isolate the variable y
Subtract
both sides


Divide by
both sides

the slope of the given line is

Step 2
Find the equation of the line that passes through the point
and is parallel to the given line
we know that
if two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal
The equation of the line into point-slope form is equal to

we have

substitute in the equation

Answer:
I believe the correct answer is option B
Answer:
27 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let her work "x" hours for paperwork
Since, patrolling amount of hours is THREE TIMES that,
Patrolling = 3x hours
Total Hours = 36
That is including paperhour work (x) and patrolling (3x). So we can setup an equation in x and solve for x first:
x + 3x = 36
4x = 36
x = 36/4
x = 9 hours
Amount of Hours for Patarolling = 3x hours = 3(9) = 27 hours
So, she spends 27 hours patrolling
First write what are given from the question
We write "<span>Craig scored 12 points in a game" as
</span>⇒ c = 12 <em>(first equation)</em>
We write "<span>Marla scored twice as many points as Craig but 5 fewer than Nelson scored" as
</span>⇒ m = 2c <em>(second equation)</em>
⇒ m = n - 5 <em>(third equation)</em>
<span>
Second, find the expression for n based on what we write above
</span>From the second and third equation
⇒ m = m
⇒ n - 5 = 2c
Subtitute from the first equation
⇒ n - 5 = 2c
⇒ n - 5 = 2(12)
⇒ n - 5 = 24
This is the expression to find how many nelson scored
n - 5 = 24
