Answer:

y = - x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

  • We can use the below formula to find the equation of a line.

y = m x + c

Here,

m ⇒ slope

c ⇒ y - intercept

  • We know that , if two lines are parallel to each other, it means that the slopes of two lines are also equal.
  • Therefore, according to the question we have to find the y - intercept in order to write the equation of the line.
  • For that, you can use the given coordinate of the new line.
  • <em>Also, as the two lines are parallel, the slope of the new line is (-1 ).</em>

Let us solve now.

( -6 , 8 ) ⇒ ( x , y )

y = m x + c

8 = -1 × -6 + c

8 = 6 + c

8 - 6 = c

2 = c

  • And now let us write the equation of the line.

y = m x + c

y = - x + 2

Hope this helps you :-)

Let me know if you have any other questions :-)

Answer:

y = -x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines that are parallel have the same slope but different

y-intercepts.

So the slope of the parallel line is -x

We can input the x and y points given to solve for the new y-intercept

  • y = -x + b
  • 8 = -(-6) + b
  • 8 = 6 + b
  • b = 2

The new line is y = -x + 2. Since these two lines are the same, they are coinciding lines.

A rectangle garden has a width that is 8 feet less than twice the length. Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 20 feet
Lana71 [14]

Width = 4ft

Length = 6ft

<u>Explanation: </u>

Let length = l ,

So, width = 2l-8

Perimeter of rectangle = 2x(length + width)

According to the question,

20ft = 2X(l + 2l-8)\\20ft = 2X(3l -8)\\ 10ft = 3l-8\\18ft = 3l \\ l = 6ft

Hence,

Width = 4ft

Length = 6ft

Ms. Pacheco, Mr Edwards, and Mr Richards are three math teachers at turner middle school. Ms. Pacheco is three years older than
zubka84 [21]
Mr edwards = Mr r x 2
Mr r = Mr p - 3 = Mr e ÷ 2.                       Mr p = 30
Mr e + Mr r = 81.                                       Mr e = 54
Mr p = Mr r + 3.                                         Mr r = 27

Mr Edwards = 2(Mr p - 3)
Mr e = 2(mr p) - 6

Mr r = [2(Mr p) -6] ÷ 2
Mr r = [2( Mr r + 3) - 6] ÷ 2

2(Mr r) + (Mr p - 3) = 81
2(Mr p -3) + (Mr p - 3) = 81
3(Mr p - 3) = 81 
3(Mr p) - 9 = 81.                               Hope this helps!!!
3(Mr p) + 9 = 81 + 9
3(Mr p) = 90
Mr p = 90 ÷ 3
Mr p = 30
