Answer:

The equation is y=x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want a line parallel to the line in the problem it will have the same slope. The equation given in the problem is already in slope intercept form so we can take the slope for the new equation directly from this equation.

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:  y=mx+b

Where  m  is the slope and  b  is the y-intercept value.  

y=1x-2

Therefore the slope is  

m=1

We can now use the point-slope formula to write the equation of the parallel line:

The point-slope formula states:  

(y-y1)=m(x-x1)

Where  m  is the slope and  (x1,y1) is a point the line passes through.  

Substituting the information from the problem gives:

(y- (-7)=1(x-2)

(y+7)=1(x-2)

Or, we can solve for  y  to put the equation in slope-intercept form:

y+7=x-2

y+7-7=x-2-7

y+0=x-9

y=x-9

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Both questions are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general mathematical equation of a line can be written as y = ax + b .

If we rearrange the two equations given in the question as follows:

5y = 3x + 22 and 20y = 12x + 11

We can see that they follow the general equation we defined earlier so we can say that they represents linear lines.

The 20y = 12x + 88 given in the second question also represents a similar linear line with a different slope.

So the two questions are both true.

I hope this answer helps.

Leona [35]

Answer:

Sales\ Price = \$9.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Price = \$24.00

Discount = 60\%

Required

Determine the sales price

First, we calculate the discount price

Discount\ Price = Price * Discount

Discount\ Price = \$24.00 * 60\%

Discount\ Price = \$14.4

The sales price is then calculated by subtracting the discount price from the original price of the item

Sales\ Price = Price - Discount\ Price

Sales\ Price = \$24.00 - \$14.40

Sales\ Price = \$9.60
