9 dived by 3 = 3
so he surfed for 3 hours = 1/3 of 9
and there are 6 hours left
so he spent 6 hours building a sandcastle
Answer:
y = (7/3)x - 9
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Convert given equation to y=mx+b form --> y = (7/3)x - 5/3
2. Equation of new line --> y = (7/3)x + b
- Note: 7/3 is the slope and for lines to be parallel they need the same slope so both equations have 7/3.
3. Plug in given values --> 5 = (7/3)(6) + b
4. Solve for b --> b = 5 - 14 b = -9
5. New line --> y = (7/3)x - 9
