Reduce 6/12 to its simplest form

1/2

Step-by-step explanation: To write the fraction 6/12 in lowest terms,

we divide the numerator and the denominator by the

greatest common factor of 6 and 12.

Since the factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6

and the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12,

the greatest common factor of 6 and 12 is 6.

So we divide the numerator and the denominator of 6/12 by 6.

6 divided by 6 is 1 and 12 divided by 6 is 2.

So 6/12 written in lowest terms is 1/2.

step-by-step explanation:

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
