Answer:
The equation of required line is: 
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to write equation in the form Ax+By+C=0 of the line parallel to
and through the point (-2,3)
First we need to find slope and y-intercept of the required line.
Using equation of line
to find slope.
Since the given line and required lines are parallel there slope is same.
Writing equation in slope intercept form:
where m is slope.

So, the slope m = 5/8
The slope of required line is 
Now finding y-intercept using slope
and point(-2,3)

So, the equation of required line having slope
and y-intercept 

So, The equation of required line is: 
3x + 6 = 12
First operation was subtraction (subtracting 6 to leave 3x alone)
Second operation was division (Dividing 3 from 3x to isolare x)
3x + 6 = 12
3x + 6 -(6) = 12 - 6
3x = 6

=

3 and 3 cancels out
x = 2
Answer:
$7.76
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount he was making before the raise.
He had an increase of 3.1% of x added to x which resulted in a new salary of $8.00 per hour.
Mathematically:

x = $7.76
He was making $7.76 before the raise.
