If a line is parallel to another, the slopes of both lines are the same. So for this problem, you can infer that the slope of the line you're trying to find is 3.

To find the actual equation of the line, you can use the given coordinates and plug them into the point slope form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

plug the given y coordinate into y1 and the given x coordinate into x1. m is the slope, so plug in 3 for m.

y - 1 = 3(x +2) Use distributive property for right side of equation

y - 1 = 3x + 6 add 1 to both sides to cancel -1 on left side of equation and isolate y

Equation of line: y = 3x + 7

Sandeep used 8 litres of fuel to travel 76 miles.

OleMash [197]

Answer:

I got, when calculated, 209 miles. (It may be wrong)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I calculated how many miles can Sandeep travel with 1L, therefore I divided 76 miles by 8L and got 9.5 miles on 1L.

Then I multiplied 9.2 miles by 22L and got 209 miles.

This may be wrong but if anyone else is able to work it out much appreciated if it's correct.. Your most welcome!
