A parallel line will have the same slope as the reference line, in this case it is 0, since y = -3 has no x term in it [y is independent of x]. The line we want will have the form y=b, since m is 0. Put the given point, (-1,6) into this equation to find b:

y=b

6=b

The equation of a line parallel to y=-3 is y=6.

Someone help with this math problem

7nadin3 [17]

She needs 1/6 almonds , 1/3 walnuts and 1/2 of raisins as a fraction of total trail mix.
So she spends $2.5 on almonds. $5 on walnuts and $10 on raisins (total $15)

so that is 2.5/12 = 0.208 pounds almonds
5 / 10.5 = 0.476 pound walnuts
10/4 = 2.5 pounds raisins

so total wieght of the trail mix is 3.19 pounds
