Parallel lines have the same slope. Since our reference line has a slope of -1, so will a line parallel to it. Thus far we have:
y=-x+b, using point (7,1) we can solve for b
1=-7+b
8=b so the parallel line passing through (7,1) is:
y=-x+8
Answer:
This isn't a real question... but i can explain what you gave. 12/14 is less than 1, so it is less than 9.
Answer:
equation of line is:
y = -2x - 6
Explanation:
The general form of the line is:
y = mx + c
where:
m is the slope of the line
c is the y-intercept
(a) getting the slope of the line:
slope of the line is calculated using the following rule:
slope of line (m) = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = (-24--12) / (9-3) = -2
The equation now becomes:
y = -2x + c
(b) getting the y-intercept:
The two given points belong to the line. Therefore, to get the y-intercept, we will use one of the points and substitute in the equation and solve for c.
I will use the point (3,-12)
y = mx + c
-12 = -2(3) + c
-12 = -6 + c
c = -12 + 6
c = -6
Based on the above, the equation of the line is:
y = -2x - 6

Answer:38
Step-by-step explanation:
no
1/2(2+a)=3a+4/3
first, you use the distributive property<span>
</span>then your problem changes to...
1 + 1/2a = 3a + 4/3
then you subtract 1/2a with 3a
1 = 2 1/2a +4/3
<span>
now you subtract 1 with 4/3
</span>
-1/3 = 2 1/2a
now you divide -1/3 with 2 1/2a
-2/15 = a
A = -2/15 is your answer. Hope this helps :)
