Find the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = 3x + 9 and passes
through the point (2,1) Write the
equation in slope-intercept form.

y = 3x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x + 9 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, then

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, 1) into the partial equation

1 = 6 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 6 = - 5

y = 3x - 5 ← equation of parallel line

the ratio of white tiles to blue tiles is 48: 16. the ratio in it's simplest form is 3: 1.

step-by-step explanation:

ratio: take the first number and add a colon next to it, then add the second number after that. make sure the ratio order matches up with the written problem!

simplest form: we can simplify the ratio 48 : 16 by dividing both terms by the greatest common factor (gcf).

the gcf of 48 and 16 is 16.

divide both terms by 16:

48 ÷ 16 = 3

16 ÷ 16 = 1

reducing to simplest form:

48 : 16 = 3 : 1
