What is the equation of a line that is parralel to 2x+3y=3 and passes through the point (3,-4)

1 answer:

4 0

3y=-2x+3
y=-2/3x+b

When you want to find the point that a line travels through, you always want to ignore the b value. Two lines are parallel if they have EXACTLY the same slope. Y-intercept does not matter.

Plug in the x and y in the equation

-4=-2/3(3)+b
-4=-2+b
-2=b

Equation: y=-2/3x-2

1 5/8 divide 1.625= what

adoni [48]

Actually:

1 5/8 simplifies to 1.625. Do 5.8 and get 0.625 then add 1. Its 1.625. So 1.625/1.625=1. Its the same thing with mixed number. (1 5/8) / 1.625 = 1

Isabel wants a coat that costs $60. She has saved $42. What fraction of the amount she needs has she saved ?

notka56 [123]

Simple.....

you have this fraction...

$\frac{42}{60}$

simplify...

42/6=7
and
60/7=10

Thus... $\frac{7}{10}$

Thus, she has saved $\frac{7}{10}$ of the money.

Prove : (sec θ - tan θ )^2 = 1 - sin θ /1+sin θ

labwork [276]

$(sec x - tan x)^2 \\ \\ = sec^2x - 2 sec x tan x + tan^2 x \\ \\ =(1+tan^2 x) - 2 sec x tan x +tan^2 x \\ \\ =1 - 2 sec x tan x + 2 tan^2 x \\ \\ = 1 - 2tan x(sec x - tan x) \\ \\ =1 - \frac{2 sin x}{cos x} (\frac{1-sin x}{cos x}) \\ \\ = 1 - \frac{2 sin x (1-sin x)}{cos^2 x} \\ \\ =1 - \frac{2 sin x (1-sin x)}{1-sin^2 x} \\ \\ =1 - \frac{2 sin x (1-sin x)}{(1-sin x)(1+sin x)} \\ \\ =1-\frac{2 sin x}{1+sin x}$
