Please see screenshot and if possible help with both a and b

a) 0.5 / 9 = 5/90 = 1/18   (0.0555555555)

b) 2.3/9 = 23/90  (0.25555555555...)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 0.5 / 9 = 5/90 = 1/18   (0.0555555555)

b) 1.8/9 + 0.5/9 =2.3/9 = 23/90  (0.25555555555...)

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
