For spirit week at a local high school, students were encouraged to wear their school colors of green and white. 2,400 students wore their school colors while 600 students did not wear green and white. What percent of the school population did not wear their school colors?

hello! just here for points! though i wish i knew!

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
