<em>Find the equation of the line passing through (4, 5) and parallel to </em>
<em> 3x-2y=4.</em>
<em />
<em> </em>
First of all, We need to convert this equation from standard form (ax+by=c) into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b).
First, add 2y on both sides:-
Now, subtract 3x on both sides:-
Divide by 2 on both sides
Now, let's find the equation of the line that's parallel to the given line.
Remember, if lines are parallel to each other, then their slope's the same.
So the slope of the line that's parallel to the line whose equation we just found, is
Now let's write the equation in point-slope form:-
Replace numbers with letters, as follows:-
The equation above is the equation in point-slope form.
Incase you need it converted to slope intercept form, refer to the steps below ~
Multiply -3/2 times x and -4:-
Now, Add 5 on both sides:-

1)
An irrational number is a number that a) can't be written as a fraction of two whole numbers AND b) is an infinite decimal without any sort of pattern.
For the first answer choice, clearly
does not pass the first criterion so we look at the second choice.
Let's come back to
and 
.
doesn't meet our first criterion, and let's skip 
for now.
It is often easier to disprove an irrational number than to prove one. There are a few famous irrationals to know (although there is an infinite number of irrationals). The most common are
. For now, it's just helpful to know these and recognize them.
So we can check off
and .
2)
For this next question, we know that
. Clearly this isn't irrational. Likewise, 
isn't irrational. 
, which is rational, leaving only 
. By process of elimination, this is the correct answer. Indeed, 
is an irrational number.
3) This notation means that we have 0.3636363636... and so on, to an infinite number of digits. It is called a repeating decimal.
But it can be written as a fraction because its pattern repeats, unlike for an irrational number.
Let's say
. Would you agree that 
? (We choose to multiply by 100 because there are two decimals that repeat. For 1, choose 10, for 3 choose 1,000, and so on.)
Now, let's subtract x from 100x and solve.
Voila!
