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
I can't exactly see if the 10 at the end is negative, but I'm going to assume that it is.
10x - 6y = 8
5x - 10y = -10
= (2, 2)

Answer:
8 1/3 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the ribbon = 2 1/12 inches
Blue ribbon is 4 time as many inches as long as red
Length of the blue ribbon = 4 * 2 1/12
Length of the blue ribbon = 4 * 25/12
Length of the blue ribbon = 100/12
Length of the blue ribbon= 25/3
Length of the blue ribbon = 8 1/3 inches
Hence the blue ribbon is 8 1/3 inches long
Ok so i just did 56/14 and got 4. So this means 14 goes into 56 4 times, so now i did 4 x 2 and got 8. So the answer is 8 free cones.
