Answer:

y = 0.5x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 0.5x - 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 0.5

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = 0.5x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 2, 1) into the partial equation

- 1 = - 1 + c ⇒ - 1 + 1 = 0

y = 0.5x + 0 , that is

y = 0.5x ← equation of parallel line

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a d = rt problem; but since it is linear, then proportions will work too. Set up the proportion with miles on top and hours on the bottom:

$\frac{miles}{hrs}:$

Then put the numbers in where they go, keeping in mind that miles goes with miles and hours goes with hours in the ratios, and that our unknown is time (hours):

$\frac{miles}{hrs}:\frac{638}{11}=\frac{406}{x}$ and cross multiply to solve:

638x = 4466 so

x = 7 hrs

Without dividing or listing multiples how can you tell if 61 is a multiple of 6.

Ostrovityanka [42]

For a number to be a multiple of 6, it must be divisible by 6
and a number divisble by 6 means that it is divisble by 2 and 3

since the ones digit is odd it is not divisble by 2 which means 61 is not a multiple of 6
