Answer:

y = (2/5)*x + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the line is parallel to the line y = 2/5 x + 17, the slope of the new line has to be the same as well. So far, we have y = (2/5)*x .

Now what we can do is plug in -15 for x and see what we get for y. Because we get -6, we need 18 more to make it 12. Because of that, the y-intercept is 18 to make the equation of the line y = (2/5)*x + 18.

Answer:

y = 2/5x + 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line will have the same slope of 2/5.

Using the point-slope form of a line:

y - 12 = 2/5(x - -15)

y - 12 = 2/5(x + 15)

y = 2/5x + 6 + 12

y = 2/5x + 18.

Quick I need an answer to this Queston:

fiasKO [112]

Step-by-step explanation:

$- \frac{3}{4} x + 2 \frac{1}{4 } = \frac{1}{2} x + 1$

$- \frac{3}{4} x + \frac{9}{4} = \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{2}{2}$

$\frac{ - 3x + 9}{4} = \frac{2x + 4}{4}$

$- 3x + 9 = 2x + 4$

$- 3x - 2x = 4 - 9$

$- 5x = - 5$

$x = \frac{ - 5}{ - 5}$

$x = 1$

The answer is C.
