I like to start by dividing the given number by 2, unless a larger factor is evident.
1386 = 2(693). It's pretty obvious that we can divide 693 by 3: 693=3(231).
Then we have 1386 = (2)(3)(231). Try the same procedure. Does 231 have any integer, prime factors? See how far you can take this factoring.
4 is 120 apples
5 is 30 pounds of ice
Slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + b
"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)
(there is probably another way to do this, but I will be doing it this way)
Isolate the "y" in the equation
3x + 4y = 12 Subtract 3x on both sides
4y = 12 - 3x Divide 4 on both sides
or
The slope is -3/4
For lines to be parallel, they have to have the SAME slope. The given line's slope is -3/4, so the slope of the parallel line is also 
Part A is 6 and the bottom one is "Take a line and connect it from point C to the middle of A and B then put another line connecting to D to the middle of A and B"
