2. Find the equation of a line parallel to y=6x-4 and through point (-2,14)

y=6x+26

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of a line parallel to the given equation, the slope must stay the same. Parallel lines NEVER touch or cross. Therefore, the slope MUST be the same. All we have to do is plug the given point into the equation to find the y-intercept.

14=6(-2)+b          [multiply]

14=-12+b             [add both sides by 12]

b=26

Now, we know that the equation of y=6x+26.

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
