Identify an equation in point-slope form for the line parallel to y = 1/2 x - 7 that
1 answer:
<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>
======================================================
Explanation:
The given equation is in slope intercept form y = mx+b
We see that m = 1/2 is the slope of y = (1/2)x-7
We'll use this slope along with the point (x1,y1) = (-3,-2) to get the following
Which is why choice D is the answer.
Note: this final equation is in point slope form.

Answer:
8 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the level of the tank needs to be at two-thirds its original level, then this means that Andrew needs to drain only one-third of the fish tank. Therefore the amount of time it would take can easily be solved with this 2-step equation...
6t = 144 * .... first multiply the right side of the equation
6t = 48 ... next divide both sides by 6
t = 8
Finally, we can see that it will take Andrew 8 minutes to drain the tank to two-thirds of its original level.
