Answer 2

hi :)

Answer 3

Hi

Answer 4

need some help?

Answer 5

If you would please

Answer 6

parallel lines have the same slope, correct?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

so the equation for the first line is:

y=-3/2x+9

and we need to find a line that is parallel to the first and also passes through (6,0)

Answer 9

so we take the slope from the first line and put in our new equation.

y=-3/2x+b

Answer 10

follow so far?
