Answer:

y = - 7x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 7x + 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 7

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = - 7x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 5, 32) into the partial equation

32 = 35 + c ⇒ c = 32 - 35 = - 3

y = - 7x - 3 ← equation of parallel line

Answer:

B. 4 and 6/10

Step-by-step explanation:

in order to find this answer i've always had a trick where i first off find an even number to divide these with and in this case that would be 4 and then the leftovers would be 6/10 and in this case your answer would be right there 4 and 6/10 but if needed to be simplified it would be 4 and 3/5

hope this helps, if it did please make sure to like and rate and give me the brainliest if possible!

Answer:

x=24

y=36

Step-by-step explanation:

x=smaller number

y=larger number

x+12=y x/2=y/3

x/2=(x+12)/3

cross multiply and distribute

3x=2x+24

x=24

24+12=y

y=36

What is the equation of a line that passes through the points (–3, 4) and (2, 8)?

Mrac [35]

Answer:

$\frac{y - 4}{x - ( - 3)} = \frac{8 - 4}{2 - (- 3)} \\ \frac{y - 4}{x + 3} = \frac{4}{5} \\ 5(y - 4) = 4(x + 3) \\ 5y - 20 = 4x + 12 \\ \boxed{4x - 5y + 32 = 0}$

<h2>4x-5y+32=0 is the right answer.</h2>
