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.

A square patio has an area of 135 square feet. How long is each side of the patio to the nearest tenth?

Kryger [21]

11.6 because the square root of 135 is 11.61885.... and when you check it is approximately 135 because 11.6 *11.6 = 134.56, which can be rounded to 135

Graph the line. y=-4x+6 what the graph

Aloiza [94]

So the -4x is the M and then 6 is the B. So m is the slope and B is the y-intercept. The 6 goes on the y axis and the -4 will be how the line looks. It’ll be rise (-4) over run (1).
