Answer:

\displaystyle y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5 = –⅔[–3] + b

2

\displaystyle 3 = b \\ \\ y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 3

Parallel equations have <em>SIMILAR RATE OF CHANGES</em> [<em>SLOPES</em>], so <em>–⅔</em> remains as is.

Answer:

The equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is parallel to y= - 2/3x is \mathbf{y=-\frac{2}{3}x+3 }

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is parallel to y= - 2/3x

The equation in slope-intercept form is: y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Finding Slope:

The both equations given are parallel. So, they have same slope.

Slope of given equation y= - 2/3x is m = -2/3

This equation is in slope-intercept form, comparing with general equation  y=mx+b where m is slope , we get the value of m= -2/3

So, slope of required line is: m = -2/3

Finding y-intercept

Using slope m = -2/3 and point (-3,5) we can find y-intercept

y=mx+b\\5=-\frac{2}{3}(-3)+b\\5=2+b\\ b=5-2\\b=3

So, we get b = 3

Now, the equation of required line:

having slope m = -2/3 and y-intercept b =3

y=mx+b\\y=-\frac{2}{3}x+3

The equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is parallel to y= - 2/3x is \mathbf{y=-\frac{2}{3}x+3 }

Solve the inequality for x. –4x + 6 &lt; 50 A) x &gt; –11 B) x &gt; –14 C) x &lt; –11 D) x &lt; –14
Natali [406]

Answer:

x > -11

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Subtract 6 from both sides</u>

-4x + 6 - 6 < 50 - 6

-4x < 44

<u>Step 2:  Divide both sides by -4</u>

-4x / -4 < 44 / -4

If you divide by a negative number, you flip the sign.

<em>x > -11</em>

<em />

Answer:  x > -11

What is the volume of a rectangular prism which is 4.25 inches length, 3.75 inches width and 10 ½ inches height? You must show y
pav-90 [236]

The volume would be 167.344 cubic inches because 4.25 times 3.75 times 10.5 or 10 1/2 is 167.34375 but you would round so your answer would be 167.344 cubic inches.

What percent of discount should be given in a doll costing Rs 180
wolverine [178]

Answer:

11.11%

Step-by-step explanation:

So the question is:

$180 * (x)% = $y

Therefore $180 - $y = $160

Now:

180 - 160 = 20

Therefore; $20 is the discount

Now per cent of discount:

20/180 * 100 = 11.111111111111111111111%

therefore: per cent of discount is 11.11% (rounded to two decimal place)
