Answer:

y=4x-16

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

<u>What we need to know:</u>

  • Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0)
  • Parallel lines always have the same slope

<u>1) Determine the slope (m)</u>

<u />y=4x-6<u />

4 is in the place of m, making it the slope. Because parallel lines have the same slope, the slope of the line is therefore 4. Plug this into y=mx+b:

y=4x+b

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept (b)</u>

y=4x+b

Plug in the given point (6,8) and solve for b

8=4(6)+b\\8=24+b

Subtract 24 from both sides to isolate b

8-24=24+b-24\\-16=b

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is -16. Plug this back into y=4x+b:

y=4x-16

I hope this helps!

Suppose that in a particular country, the probability that a randomly chosen person is a left-handed baseball player is 0.015 0.
never [62]

Answer:

0.0625

Step-by-step explanation:

P(left/baseball) =

P(baseball ^ left)/P(baseball)

0.24 = 0.015/P(baseball)

P(baseball) = 1/16 or 0.0625
