parallel lines have the same slope
The slope-intercept form of a linear equatio is y=mx+b, where m stands for the "slope of the line" and b stands for the "y-intercept of the line"
They give you the equation y= -5/6x+3 Notice this is already on the slope-intercept form, so in this case the slope is -5/6 and the y-intercept is 3
You want an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line. The slopes must be the same, so m=-5/6
So far we have y=-5/6x + b
We don't have b yet but that can be found using the given point (6,-1) which tells you that "x is 6 when y is -1"
Replace that on the equation y=-5/6x + b and you get
-1 = (-5/6)(6) + b
-1 = -5 +b
4 = b
b = 4
We found b, or the y-intercept
Go back to the equation y = -5/6 x + b and replace this b with the b we just found
y = -5/6x + 4
the discriminant b^2 - 4ac when the equation is in the form of ax^2 +bx+c=0
13x^2-16x = x^2 -x
we need to get in it the standard form
subtract x^2 from each side
12x^2 -16x = -x
add x to each side
12x^2 -15x = 0
12x^2 -15x -0 =0
a=12 b=-15 c=0
b^2 -4ac
the discriminant = b^2
b^2 = (-15)2 = 225
Consider the equation 
, it can be expressed as 
.
Now, we have to write the equivalent equation.
Since, Equivalent equations are those equations which have exactly same solution. We can say that the two equations are equivalent if solution of one equation is the solution of other equation.
So, consider the equation 
Equivalent equation can be obtained by multiplying the given equation by any number say '2'.
Multiplying both sides of the given equation by '2'.
is the required equivalent equation.
