6/7 divided by 3
6/7 times 1/3
6/21
3/7
Step-by-step explanation:
strange, because the way you typed it, it would be absolutely correct.
If a < b and if c is a positive number, then
a/c < b/c
Dividing each side of an inequality by a positive number does not change the direction of the inequality symbol.
that is one of the defined rules.
so, did you make a mistake with a sign ? maybe the division is meant to be by -3 ?
then indeed, suddenly
5 > 2
so, please check the problem definition precisely. if your correct answer is actually wrong, then the original problem must be different than what you typed here.
-3+3 because it is equal to zero, and zero is not positive nor negative. All absolute values are positive unless the number is zero.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath
Answer: y = 3x -10
Discussion
:
Since the line is parallel to y = 3x + 7, the lines have the same slope. This means the point intercept of the parallel line is
y = 3x + b
As the new lines passes through (2, -4). substitute the x and y values of that point in the new equation:
(-4) = 3 (2) + b =>
-4 = 6 + b => (subtract 6 from each side)
-4 -6 = (-6 + 6) + b =>
-10 = 0 + b =>
b = -10
y = 3x -10 is the equation of the parallel line
Thank you,
