Answer:

y = 2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of a line, you need 2 things:

1) gradient/slope

2) 1 set of x and y coordinates

To find the slope:

If 2 lines are parallel, they have exactly the same gradient.

So, this line will have a slope of 2 as well (the slope of a line is the coefficient of x in the equation).

To find the equation of the line:

<u>Start with this generic equation:</u>

y - y1 = m (x-x1)

<u>We know that:</u>

(x1, y1) -> (-2, -1) and m= 2

<u>So, we can substitute for the equation:</u>

y- (-1) = 2 (x -(-2))

<u>Simplify, by expanding the brackets:</u>

y + 1= 2 (x+2)

y + 1 = 2x + 4

<u>Rearrange for y:</u>

y = 2x + 3

To double check:

1) The coefficient of x is the slope, we have 2x and the slop is 2, so that's correct

2) Sub in x= -2, and you should get y=-1

y = -4 + 3 = -1, so that's correct too

Hope that helped : )

Answer:

A) C = 211

B) C = 15.05

Step-by-step explanation:

To get your answer you need to subtract the final answer with the number in the equation. So... 458 - 247 = 211. Hence C is 211

Which equation represents the line that passes through (-3,5) and is parallel to the graph of y= -2/3x+5
Nostrana [21]
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 :)

A bus leaves Los Angeles at 8am moving northeast at 60 mph. Three hours later, a truck leaves the same place traveling 1 2/3 tim
love history [14]

Answer:

7.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the variable 't' for time, you can set up an equation to find out how long it will take the truck to catch up to the  bus.  Since the bus is traveling at 60mph and the truck is traveling 1 2/3 times faster, we need to first find the rate of the truck:

1\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{3}

\frac{60}{1}*\frac{5}{3}=\frac{300}{3}=100mph

Using 't' and the knowledge that they will have traveled the same distance we the truck catches up to the bus and the fact that the truck left 3 hours later:

60t = 100(t - 3)  or 60t = 100t - 300

Solve for 't':  60t - 100t = -300 or -40t = -300  so, t = 7.5 hours
