The slope is 10. For every 1 increase in x, y increases by 10.
I think it may be the ability to get the correct/same answer (percision) to within 40 feet.
Answer:
y = -3/4x - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope.
Solve for y in the equation to find the slope.
x - 4y = 4x
-4y = -x + 4x
-4y = 3x
y = 3/-4 x = -3/4x So the slope is -3/4 which is the coefficient of the
x term
Substitute the slope(m) = -3/4 and point (-8, -1) into y = mx + b to solve for "b"
y = mx + b
-1 = -3/4(-8) + b
-1 = 6 + b
-1 - 6 = b
-7 = b
The equation of the new line: y = mx + b
y = -3/4x - 7
Answer:
y = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
(y+1)/(x-8) = (-1+1)/(-2-8)
(y+1)/(x-8) = 0
y+1 =0
y= -1
