Answer:
31/40
Step-by-step explanation:
13/40 + 18/40
7x - 12y = -32
-12y = -7x - 32
y = 7/12x + 8/3...slope here is 7/12. A parallel line will have the same slope.
so ur parallel line will be : y = 7/12x + b....and b can be anything but 8/3...it cannot be 8/3 because then there would be infinite solutions and parallel line do not have infinite solutions, they have no solutions because they do not intersect.
General formula to make slope-intercept form
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
From the question, we know that
m = 3/4
(x₁,y₁) = (-8,3)
Put the number to the formula
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
y - 3 = 3/4(x - (-8))
y - 3 = 3/4(x + 8)
y - 3 = (3/4)x + 6
y = (3/4)x + 9
