Answer:
Slope is 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because the line is positive (moving upwards), and it moves up 1 unit and to the right 3 units. That means if you write it in the form of rise/run, where rise is the up or down movement and run is the left or right movement, 1 will be on top and 3 will be at the bottom.
<em>Bonus: The line is y = 1/3x -5</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>where</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>/</em><em>3</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>slope</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>-</em><em>5</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em>-</em><em>intercept</em><em>)</em><em>.</em>
Hope this helps :)
First you get "y" by itself. To do so you divide 2 on both sides.
y = 3/2x + 5
To write an equation of a line that is PARALLEL to this equation, the slopes have to be the SAME. So the slope is 3/2.
You then use the equation:
y = mx + b
SInce you know "m" you plug it in.
y = 3/2x + b
Now you need to find b. To do so you plug in the point (2, -5) into this equation.
-5 = 3/2(2) + b
-5 = 3 + b
-8 = b
Finally you plug in b and you get your new equation.
y = 3/2x - 8
13x is that what you meant???
The answer is 3.9. In fraction form the answer is 89/10. In mixed fraction form the answer is 8 9/10
