Hey!
So before trying to figure out the equation of the line, lets change -3y+4x = 9 into slope-intercept form:
-3y + 4x = 9
-3y = -4x + 9
y = (4/3)x - 3
Now that you have the equation in slope-intercept form we can find the equation of the line parallel to this. One thing that we are given from this equation is the slope of the line, the slope for two parallel lines are the same. So we know that the slope of the line is 4/3. We are also given another point on the line and we can plug this point in for y and x to find the y-intercept or b:
6 = (4/3)(-12) + b
6 = -16 + b
22 = b
Now that we know b, we have both the y-intercept and the slope so our equation would be:
y = (4/3)x + 22
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Data provided in the question
Number of bags of mulch = 7.5 bags
Number of square yards = 12
So by considering above information, we could find the number of bags for each square yard is
= 
= 
= 0.625
The 0.625 is equal to
bag
Therefore, she need to use
bag for each square yard
Basically we use the fraction so that each square yard for use of bag could be find out
