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.

I am joyous to assist you at any time.

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 }

Donna is on the swim team. Each week she swims a total of 8000 meters. How many kilometers does she swim each week? Be sure to i
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Donna swims 8 km each week.

Step-by-step explanation:

To be able to find the answer, you have to consider that 1 km is equal to 1000 meters and with this, you can use  rule of three to find the kilometers in 8000 meters:

1 km  →  1000 meters

  x    ←   8000 meters

x=(1*8000)/1000=8 km

According to this, the answer is that Donna swims 8 km each week.

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

x = 62

Step-by-step explanation:

x and 118 form a linear pair (added up, they both equal 180 degrees)

So, 180-118 = 62 which is the measurement of x
