Answer:

y=2x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation is typically organized in the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the y-coordinate of the point on the line that crosses the y-axis).

Parallel lines <em>always</em> have the same slope. When we examine the given equation, y=2x+6, we can identify immediately that 2 is in the place of m, the slope. This means that the slope of the line we're trying to solve for is also 2. So far, our equation looks like this:

y=2x+b

The last thing we need to calculate is b, the y-intercept. We can do this by plugging in the given point (-1,5) as x and y.

y=2x+b

5=2(-1)+b

5=-2+b

Add 2 to both sides to isolate b

5+2=-2+b+2

7=b

Now that we know b, we plug that into our original equation and now we have a final equation of:

y=2x+7

I hope this helps!

What is the slope of a line which is perpendicular to the line that has an equation of
nasty-shy [4]

First convert the equation in the form of <em>y= mx + </em><em>c</em>

The equation will be like = y = 6x-5

value of m = 6

The slope of perpendicular line will be = -1/m = -1/6

Gwar [14]
Need approx 3 oz chemical to 1 gal water.
Conversion factor is then approx.      3 oz

                                                           1 gal

Mult this result by 6 gal.  This gives you 18 oz, approx.


Now let's look for a more exact solution:

2.75 oz      19 gal
---------- * ---------- = 17.4 oz.  The 18 oz estimate was close.
1 gal           3
