Through ( 3,2) parallel to y=5/2x-5 . what is the slope intercept form of the equation

y=(5/2)x+(-11/2)

Problem: What is the slope-intercept form for a line going through (3,2) and is parallel to y=(5/2)x-5?

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope.

The slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. So we see that m=5/2 since that is the slope of y=5/2 x-5.

y=(5/2)x+b

We know (x,y)=(3,2) is a point on the line so replacing x with 3 and y with 2 gives:

2=(5/2)(3)+b

2=(15/2)+b

Subtract 15/2 on both sides:

2-(15/2)=b

Simplify:

(4-15)/2=b

(-11/2)=b

So the equation is:

y=(5/2)x+(-11/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line has the following form:

Where m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept with the y axis.

If two lines of slopes m and n are parallel  then it is true that:

For the line the slope is:

So the slope of the parallel line is:

So the equation is:

To find b we substitute the point (3, 2) in the equation and solve for b

Then the equation of the line in the form of pending interception is:

there are no multiple choices

ending amount = beginning amount / (2^n)

where "n" = number of half-lives (or elapsed time / half-life)

ending amount = 50 mg / (2 ^10 / 5.3)

ending amount = 50 mg / (2 ^ 1.8867924528)

ending amount = 50 m / 3.6981210597

ending amount = 13.5203794557 mg

or about 13.5 mg remain
