What is the equation of the line that is parallel to y=x+4 and that passes through (5,–4)?

Mathematics
1 answer:
antiseptic1488 [7]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{5} x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = \frac{1}{5} x + 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = \frac{1}{5}

• Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = \frac{1}{5} x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (5, - 4 ) into the partial equation

- 4 = 1 + c ⇒ c = - 4 - 1 = - 5

y = \frac{1}{5} x - 5 ← equation of parallel line

For which system of equations is (5, 3) the solution? A. 3x – 2y = 9 3x + 2y = 14 B. x – y = –2 4x – 3y = 11 C. –2x – y = –13 x
Alla [95]
The <u>correct answer</u> is:

D) \left \{ {{2x-y=7} \atop {2x+7y=31}} \right..

Explanation:

We solve each system to find the correct answer.

<u>For A:</u>
\left \{ {{3x-2y=9} \atop {3x+2y=14}} \right.

Since we have the coefficients of both variables the same, we will use <u>elimination </u>to solve this.  

Since the coefficients of y are -2 and 2, we can add the equations to solve, since -2+2=0 and cancels the y variable:
\left \{ {{3x-2y=9} \atop {+(3x+2y=14)}} \right. &#10;\\&#10;\\6x=23

Next we divide both sides by 6:
6x/6 = 23/6
x = 23/6

This is <u>not the x-coordinate</u> of the answer we are looking for, so <u>A is not correct</u>.

<u>For B</u>:
\left \{ {{x-y=-2} \atop {4x-3y=11}} \right.

For this equation, it will be easier to isolate a variable and use <u>substitution</u>, since the coefficient of both x and y in the first equation is 1:
x-y=-2

Add y to both sides:
x-y+y=-2+y
x=-2+y

We now substitute this in place of x in the second equation:
4x-3y=11
4(-2+y)-3y=11

Using the distributive property, we have:
4(-2)+4(y)-3y=11
-8+4y-3y=11

Combining like terms, we have:
-8+y=11

Add 8 to each side:
-8+y+8=11+8
y=19

This is <u>not the y-coordinate</u> of the answer we're looking for, so <u>B is not correct</u>.

<u>For C</u>:
Since the coefficient of x in the second equation is 1, we will use <u>substitution</u> again.

x+2y=-11

To isolate x, subtract 2y from each side:
x+2y-2y=-11-2y
x=-11-2y

Now substitute this in place of x in the first equation:
-2x-y=-13
-2(-11-2y)-y=-13

Using the distributive property, we have:
-2(-11)-2(-2y)-y=-13
22+4y-y=-13

Combining like terms:
22+3y=-13

Subtract 22 from each side:
22+3y-22=-13-22
3y=-35

Divide both sides by 3:
3y/3 = -35/3
y = -35/3

This is <u>not the y-coordinate</u> of the answer we're looking for, so <u>C is not correct</u>.  

<u>For D</u>:
Since the coefficients of x are the same in each equation, we will use <u>elimination</u>.  We have 2x in each equation; to eliminate this, we will subtract, since 2x-2x=0:

\left \{ {{2x-y=7} \atop {-(2x+7y=31)}} \right. &#10;\\&#10;\\-8y=-24

Divide both sides by -8:
-8y/-8 = -24/-8
y=3

The y-coordinate is correct; next we check the x-coordinate  Substitute the value for y into the first equation:
2x-y=7
2x-3=7

Add 3 to each side:
2x-3+3=7+3
2x=10

Divide each side by 2:
2x/2=10/2
x=5

This gives us the x- and y-coordinate we need, so <u>D is the correct answer</u>.

Digiron [165]

Answer:\frac{17}{35}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The bag contains 6 orange and 9 lime sweets

For both sweets of the same flavor, Jodi must either choose orange or lime

No. of ways it can be done is ^6C_1\times^5C_1+^9C_1\times^8C_1

The total no of ways of selecting two sweets out of 15 is ^{15}C_1\times^{14}C_1

The probability that both sweets are the same flavor

P=\dfrac{^6C_1\times^5C_1+^9C_1\times^8C_1}{^{15}C_1\times^{14}C_1}=\frac{102}{210}=\frac{51}{105}=\frac{17}{35}

Emily has x amounts of apples, Peter has 4 apples less than Emily and Joshua has 2 times the number of apples of Peter. The tota
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Emily: 13, Peter: 9, Joshua: 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Emily = x

Peter = Emily - 4 = x - 4

Joshua = 2(Peter) = 2(x - 4)

Total = 40 = Emily + Peter + Joshua = (x) + (x - 4) + 2(x - 4)

40 = 2x - 4 + 2x -8

40 = 4x - 4 - 8

40 = 4x - 12

52 = 4x

x = 13

Emily = 13

Peter = 13 - 4 = 9

Joshua = 2(13 - 4) = 2(9) = 18

13 + 9 +18 = 40
