Answer:

y = 6/5x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to put the equation given in slope intercept form, y = mx + b

6x - 5y = 5

Solve for y

6x - 5y = 5

Subtract 6x from both sides

-5y = -6x + 5

Divide both sides by -5

y = 6/5x - 1

Now we have the equation in slope intercept form

y = 6/5x - 1

We want to find the equation that would be parallel to it

Parallel lines have the same slope

The equation y = 6/5x - 1 has a slope of 6/5 so an equation that is parallel to it would also have a slope of 6/5

The only equation that has a slope of 6/5 is the top left one therefore that is the answer

Answer:

y = 6/5x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the given equation:

$6x-5y=5\\-5y=-6x+5\\y=\frac{6}{5}x-1$

In order for another equation to be parallel, it must have the same slope. Therefore, y = 6/5x - 2 is the correct answer.

Matthew opens a store credit card when he purchases a new sound system. The interest rate is 22.45%. He charges $4,120 to the ca

Nookie1986 [14]

Let

C----------------- > charges for the purchases to the credit card

<span>r------------------- > the interest rate </span>

X------------------ > total cost of the purchase

we know that

C=4120

r= 22.45%=0.2245

X=C*(1+r)

substituting the values in the formula

X=(4120)*(1+0.2245)= (4120)*(1.2245)=5044.94

the answer is $5044.94

Formula's:

area of rectangle: length + width

area of triangle: 1/2 * base * height

Explanation:

⇒ area of rec + area of rec + area of rec + area of triangle

⇒ 2 * 4 + 7 * 6 + 8 * 9 + 1/2 * 6 * 5

⇒ 8 + 42 + 72 + 15

⇒ 137 m²
