Parallel lines should have the same slope. Therefore, you know which point it passes through and the slope. Plug in the points and slop into slope-intercept form to find b. Please refer to the picture.
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b
m=slope
-1x meaning that -1 is your slope
assume you want a line that goes through the given point and parallel to the given line. A line that is parallel to y=2/3 x + 5 will have the same slope. slope of that line is 2/3...the number in front of the x. So our new line will have slope of 2/3. now we need the y-intercept. To find that start with a slope intercept equation y=mx+b plug in the slope that we already know...it goes in for x...will be the number in front of x y= 2/3 x + b. now all we need is a number to plug in for the "b" and we will have it. to get the "b"...start with the part you already know. y = 2/3 x + b use the point they gave you...(-3,1)...and get x and y from it x will be -3 and y will be 1 plug that in 1= 2/3 ( -3) + b now we solve for b 1 = -2 + b 3 = b now we have the b we need y = 2/3 x + b y = 2/3 x + 3
Heres your answer,
Point L.
To find the sales price of the DVD, you would multiply the price and sale percent to get the sale price.
You would need to turn 20% into a decimal to multiply it with 9, so you would move the decimal place two times to the left: From 20. to→ .20
In this case: 9 × .20 = 1.8
Then you would subract the sub price by the sales price
9 - 1.8 = 7.2
The sales price of the DVD would be $7.20
