To be parallel, gradients are the same!
so the gradient is -5/2.
y=-5/2x +c
substitute the points youve been givrn into this to find c!
7=-5/2 (-6) +c
7=15 +c
c must equal -7
y=-5/2x -7
Ansexponents first. Do all of them. Then combine like terms altogether. Then solve.
3/4 is equivalent to 9/12 because when we simplify 9/12 we get
3/4
or
if we multiply 3/4 by 4 we will get 9/12
