Step-by-step explanation: The reason behind this is that the two consecutive numbers do not have any common factor other than 1. Hence 1 becomes the highest common factor between two consecutive numbers

How do you find the equation for the line that is parallel to the line y=2/3x-7 and passes through the point (3,-1)

Debora [2.8K]

parallel lines have the same exact slope hmmm what's the slope of y = 2/3x-7 anyway? well, low and behold, is already in slope-intercept form, therefore

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{slope-intercept form}}{y=\stackrel{slope}{\cfrac{2}{3}}x-7}$ .

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 2/3, and runs through 3, -1.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})~\hspace{7em} slope = m\implies \cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-1)=\cfrac{2}{3}(x-3) \\\\\\ y+1=\cfrac{2}{3}x-2\implies y=\cfrac{2}{3}x-3$

The area of the right triangle shown is 24 square feet. Which equations can be used to find the lengths of the legs of the trian

Yuri [45]

Not sure, but the areas of a triangle is BH/2 so the dimensions should be 8 and 6 then 10.
8 x 6 = 48
48/2 = 24
Maybe that can help with the equation
