Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)
For lines to be parallel, they need to have the same slope.
y - 3x = 2 Add 3x on both sides to change the equation to slope-intercept form
y - 3x + 3x = 2 + 3x
y = 3x + 2 The slope is 3, so the parallel line's slope is also 3.
Now that you know the slope, substitute/plug it into the equation
y = mx + b
y = 3x + b To find "b", plug in the point (6, 1) into the equation, then isolate/get the variable "b" by itself
1 = 3(6) + b
1 = 18 + b Subtract 18 on both sides to get "b" by itself
1 - 18 = 18 - 18 + b
-17 = b
y = 3x - 17 Your answer is the 1st option
A. x = -1; x = 3
B. x = 5; x = -4
C. x = -1; x = 4
D. x = -6; x = 4

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
0.75 feet / day [ 1 day / 24 hours] * [12 inches / 1 foot]
This process is called dimensional analysis. The trick it uses is to cancel out units (like feet or days ) where possible. In this case, 1 day is going to cancel out and leave behind 24 hours. 1 foot will cancel out and leave behind 12 inches.
It is well worth learning how to do this, because the process is done in the higher sciences.
So what you are left with is
0.75 * 12 inches / 24 hours
0.75 inches /hour * 1/2
0.375 inches / hour.
Obtuse angles are found in a polygon.
