<h3>Answer:  Choice D</h3>

4x - 3y = 15

====================================================

Explanation:

The two points (-1,-1) and (2,3) are marked on the line

Let's find the slope of the line through those two points.

(x_1,y_1) = (-1,-1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2)  = (2,3)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{3 - (-1)}{2 - (-1)}\\\\m = \frac{3 + 1}{2 + 1}\\\\m = \frac{4}{3}\\\\

The slope is 4/3 meaning we go up 4 and to the right 3.

-------------

Parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts. We'll need to see which of the four answer choices have a slope of 4/3.

Solve the equation in choice A for y. The goal is to get it into y = mx+b form so we can determine the slope m.

3x + 4y = -4\\\\4y = -3x-4\\\\y = -\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{4}{4}\\\\y = -\frac{3}{4}x-1

Equation A has a slope of -3/4 and not 4/3 like we want.

Therefore, this answer choice is crossed off the list.

Follow similar steps for choices B through D. I'll show the slopes of each so you can check your work.

  • slope of equation B is 3/4
  • slope of equation C is -4/3
  • slope of equation D is 4/3

We have a match with equation D. Therefore, the equation 4x-3y = 15 is parallel to the given line shown in the graph.

You can use graphing tools like Desmos or GeoGebra to confirm the answer.

Write the mixed number as a decimal. 1 5/8
likoan [24]

Answer:

1.625

Step-by-step explanation:

The decimal of 5/8 is 0.625.

We can then add 1 to it, since it is a whole number

Therefore, we have 1 + 0.625 = 1.625

Martin wants to build an additional closet in a corner of his bedroom. Because the closet will be in a corner, only two new wall
Gekata [30.6K]

The relationship between the length & the width of the closet and the length of the wall is an illustration of a linear equation.

  • <em>The equation for f(l) is: </em>f(l) = 1.5l<em>.</em>
  • <em>The desired length and width are 8m and 4m</em>

<em />

Given that:

l = 2w

Divide both sides by 2

w = 0.5l

<u>Equation of f(l)</u>

The sum of the length and the width is represented as: f(l).

So, we have:

f(l) = l + w

Substitute w = 0.5l

f(l) = l + 0.5l

f(l) = 1.5l

See attachment for the graph of f(l)

<u>The desired dimension</u>

From the question, we understand that the total length is 12m.

This means that:

f(l) = 12

So, we have:

1.5l = 12

Divide both sides by 1.5

l = 8

Recall that:

w = 0.5l

w = 0.5 \times 8

w = 4

Hence, the desired length and width are 8m and 4m, respectively.
