Write the slope-intercept equation of a line parallel to y = 3x + 2 that

1 answer:

8 0

Parallel lines have the same slope, in this case 3.

To find the y intercept we plug in the points (2,1) into y=mx+b, with 2 being x and 1 being y.

1=3(2) + b
Solve this and you get -5 as the y intercept.

The equation is y=3x-5

earnstyle [38]

Solutions

1) Find the least common denominator of 7/10 and 1/5.
10: 10
5 : 5 , 10
The least common denominator is 10.

2) Make the denominator of 1/5 to 10. Multiply numerator and denominator by 2.

1 x 2 = 2
5 x 2 = 10

3) New fraction
7/10 + 2/10

4) Add
7+2 = 9

Right Triangles

The ratios of the sides of a right triangle are called trigonometric ratios. Each acute angle has an adjacent side and an opposite side. The trigonometric ratios are defined upon those sides.

The tangent ratio is defined as:

$\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{\text{opposite side}}{\text{adjacent side}}$
