What is the equation of the line described below written in slope-intercept form? the line passing through point (0, 0) and parallel to the line whose equation is 3x + 2y - 6 = 0 y = -x

y = -1½x + 3; Parallel Equation: y = -1½x [Direct Variation (y = mx)]

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the equation equal to 6, move -3x to the right side of the equivalence symbol to get 2y = -3x + 6, then divide all terms by 2, to isolate the variable, resulting in y = -½x + 3. Now that we have our equation, we have to the PARALLEL equation [SIMILAR RATE OF CHANGES (SLOPES)] that passes through the origin [0, 0]. To do this, we simply plug these coordinates into the Slope-Intercept Formula, y = mx + b --> 0 = -½[0] + b. It is obvious that your y-intercept IS the origin [so as your x-intercept], so your parallel equation is y = -½x.

NOTE: The parent function of y = mx, is what is known as direct variation.

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
