Answer:

  y = 3/2x -10

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope equation can be written ...

  y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . for a line with slope m through point (h, k)

Using the given values, this is ...

  y = (3/2)(x -6) -1 = 3/2x -9 -1

  y = 3/2x -10 . . . . . slope-intercept equation

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallel line will have the same slope as the reference line.  In this case, I don't see the "given line" as promised in the question.  If it does appear, and it looks like y = 5x + 3, for example, the slope is 5 and the new line will have the same slope.

<h3><u>If this slope is correct</u>, we can start the equation for the parallel line that goes through point (-3,2) by starting with:</h3><h3 /><h3>y = 5x + b</h3><h3 /><h3>We need a value of b that forces the line to go through point (-3,2).  We can do that by using the given point in the equation and solving for b:</h3><h3>y = 5x + b</h3><h3>2 = 5(-3) + b</h3><h3>b = 17</h3><h3 /><h3>The parallel line to y=5x+3 is</h3><h3>y = 5x + 17</h3><h3 /><h3>See attachment.</h3><h3 /><h3 /><h3 />

Equation of a line through (-1,-10) which is parallel to the line y=4x+3 has (need the slope and y intercept ) please help
valina [46]
Parallel lines have the same slope but different y intercepts

Slope: 4
y=4x+b
this is the new equation, plug in the point
-10=4(-1)+B
-10=-4+B
add 4
-6=B

Y intercept= -6
slope; 4

Find the value of two numbers if their sum is 112 and their difference is 66.
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

x+y = 112 ........ (1)

x-y = 62............ (2)

from (1) and (2)

2x = 174

x = 174/2

x = 87

sub x = 87 in (1)

x+y = 112

87+y = 112

y = 112 - 87

y = 25

so the numbers are 87 and 25
