Whenever you want to write the equation of a parallel line through some point (h, k), you can ...
- remove any added constant in the original given equation
- replace x with (x-h)
- replace y with (y-k)
- rearrange the resulting equation to the form required by the problem.
Using this formula here, we get
... 2(y +5) = 3(x -2)
Your answer form requires you solve this for y.
... 2y + 10 = 3x -6 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
... 2y = 3x -16 . . . . . . . . subtract the constant on the left (10)
... y = (3/2)x -8 . . . . . . divide by 2

Answer:
D) No Solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
The lines have the same slope (-4), but different y-intercepts (3, 0), so they are parallel lines. There can be no values of x and y that satisfy both equations.
There are no solutions.
Answer:
She would have scored 75 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Points scored in a basketball game vary directly with shots taken.
This means that this question can be solved by proportions, using a rule of three.
How many would she have scored if she takes 60 shots?
Using a rule of three:
50 points - 40 shots
x points - 60 shots
Applying cross multiplication:
Dividing both sides by 40
She would have scored 75 points.
