Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y=-5/4x + 7
Any line parallel to the given line will have the same slope. In an equation presented in the y-intercept form, the slope is always the coefficient of "x". In this case, the slope is -5/4 (meaning the next point is down 5, and 4 to the right).
Our equation so far looks like this: y = -5/4x + b
"b" represents the y-intercept. To solve for be, we will need to substitute values into x and y. The next piece of information it gives us is one of the points, or solutions, of the line. This means that since this point is on the line, we can use its x and y values to substitute.
x = -4
y= 1
y = -5/4x + b
1 = -5/4(-4) + b
1 = 5 + b
-4 = b
Final Answer: y = -(5/4)x -4
Answer:
The graph in the attached figure
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
------>inequality A
The solution of the inequality A is the shaded area above the dashed line 
The y-intercept of the dashed line is (0,6)
The x-intercept of the dashed line is (-24,0)
The slope of the dashed line is positive m=1/4
------>inequality B
The solution of the inequality B is the shaded area above the dashed line 
The y-intercept of the dashed line is (0,-1)
The x-intercept of the dashed line is (0.5,0)
The slope of the dashed line is positive m=2
The solution of the system of inequalities is the shaded area between the two dashed lines

Answer:
21 weeks.
Step-by-step explanation:
To start, you have to get the pounds lost per week.
12/3=4
4 pounds lost per week.
Next, find out how many weeks it takes by solving this equation,
4x=84
Divide 84/4=21
Therefore, it took 21 weeks to lose 84 pounds.

Answer:
The line slopes upwards from left to right wit a positive gradient and cuts the y-axis at y=2 and the x-axis at x=-3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We first rearrange the equation to the order y=mx+c where m is the gradient and c the y intercept.
3y=4x+6
y=(4/3)x+2
The gradient is therefore 4/3 and the y intercept is 2.
At the c intercept, y=0
0=(4/3)x +2
(4/3)x=-2
x=-2×3/4
=3/2
The line slopes upwards from left to right with a positive gradient and cuts the y-axis at y=2 and the x-axis at x=-3/2
