Slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + b
"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)
(there is probably another way to do this, but I will be doing it this way)
Isolate the "y" in the equation
3x + 4y = 12 Subtract 3x on both sides
4y = 12 - 3x Divide 4 on both sides
or 
The slope is -3/4
For lines to be parallel, they have to have the SAME slope. The given line's slope is -3/4, so the slope of the parallel line is also 
Answer: =2/5 x
Step-by-step explanation:
4 kilometres is 4000 meters
4000 meters - 3400 meters = 600 meters
and as John is the one that rode 4 kilometres he rode further and by 600 meters
Answer:
4 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
5.5 ( 8 - x ) + 44 = 104 - 3.5 ( 3x + 24 )
Distribute 5.5 through the parenthesis.
44 - 5.5x + 44 = 104 - 10.5x - 84
Add the numbers.
88 - 5.5x = 20 - 10.5x
Move variable to the left side and change its sign.
88 - 5.5x + 10.5x = 20
-5.5x + 10.5x = 20 -88
Collect like terms.
5x = 20 - 88
Calculate the sum or difference.
5x = - 68
Divide both sides by 5.
x = - 68 / 5
