Write an equation of the line that passes through (0,9) and is parallel to the line y = 8x+7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

1) Determine the slope

From the given equation, we can identify 8 to be in the place of m, making 8 the slope. Because parallel lines always have the same slopes, the line we're currently solving for will also have a slope of 8. Plug this into :

2) Determine the y-intercept

The y-intercept occurs when x=0. The given point is (0,9), telling us the the y-intercept is 9. Plug this into :

I hope this helps!

after simplifying it i got: -36.25 as my answer. hope that !

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
