Answer:

9 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out what d (distance) is, make a proportion of the values you know and d. This would be 15/67.5 = 2/d.

¹⁵/₆₇.₅ = 2/d

<em>Variable d cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by d.</em>

d * (¹⁵/₆₇.₅) = 2

<em>Expand 15/67.5   by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.</em>

d * (¹⁵⁰/₆₇₅) = 2

<em>Reduce the fraction ¹⁵⁰/₆₇₅  to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 75.</em>

d * (²/₉) = 2

<em>Multiply both sides by ⁹/₂, the reciprocal of ²/₉.</em>

d = (2 * 9)/2

<em>Cancel out 2 and 2.</em>

d = 9

The distance between the SLMS from the tide pools on the map is 9 inches.

What is the equation of the line that is
Fantom [35]

Answer:

y = m_{AB}(X-2)-1

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines are parallel means that their slopes are equal. Therefore the line AB will have same slope to a parallel second line, m_{AB} = m_{2}.

To obtain the slope from the line AB, we need two points, so the general equation will be:

m_{AB} = \frac{y_{B} -y_{A}  }{x_{B}-x_{A}  }

The typical equation of a line is written as y = mx + b

The second line will pass through point (2, -1), so we can substitute:

y2 = mX2 + b

-1 = -1=m_{AB} (2)+b(2) + b

then the interception is b=-m_{AB} -1

Now to obtain a general equation for the second parallel line will be:

y =  m_{AB} X + b

y =  m_{AB} X - m_{AB}(2)-1

Finally we get:

y =  m_{AB} (x-2)-1
