A line passes through the point (12,0) and is parallel to the line with the equation y = 1∕6x + 1. What's the equation of the line?

y=1/6x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to set up the equation. Since the lines are parallel the slopes will be the same.

Note: y=mx+b; m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Since we know that the slopes are the same all we have to do is plug in (12,0) in the equation to find b (y-intercept),

0=1/6(12)+b

0=6+b

-6=b

Now that we know b all we have to do is put it in the formula y=mx+b

y=1/6x-6.

y = (1/6)x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

"Parallel" means "has the same slope as..."  so the slope of the line you want is 1/6.

y = (1/6)x + b     where b is the y-intercept (now, find it using the point (12, 0) ).

0 = (1/6)(12) + b

0 = 2 + b

b = -2

The equation is y = (1/6)x - 2

your answer would be 12

6,250

step-by-step explanation:

to get the area, multiply 360 by 160.(57,600)

to find out how many bags of fertilizer it will take, first figure out how many square feet one bag can hold. divide 1000 by 8(125) to get the unit rate(how many square feet one pound of fertilizer can hold)and multiply it by 50(6250). if i haven't made a mistake, that is the answer.
