The equation y = mx + b is used to express the equation of a line. Which solution is a correct way to solve this equation for x

in terms of y?

By first subtraction b and then dividing by m, the solution of the linear equation for x is:

(y - b)/m = x

<h3>How to solve the linear equation for x?</h3>

Here we have a linear equation that defines the variable y in terms of the variable x:

y = m*x + b

Where m and b are real numbers.

Now we want to find x in terms of the variable y, this means that we need to isolate the variable x.

if first we subtract b in both sides, we get:

y - b = m*x + b - b

y - b = m*x

If now we divide both sides by m, we get:

(y - b)/m = m*x/m

(y - b)/m = x

This is the linear equation solved for x.

x^2+1/2x+1/16=4/9 Factor the perfect-square trinomial on the left side of the equation. (x + )² = 4/9
Nezavi [6.7K]
The missing number is the square-root of the constant term on the left-hand-side, which equals sqrt(1/16)=1/sqrt(16)=1/4.
Check:
(x+1/4)^2=x^2+2*(1/4)x+(1/4)^2=x^2+x/2+1/16.   ok

Answer: x= 1/4

Write the slope-intercept equation of the line parallel to 5y = 2x + 20 that goes through (-1, 3).
poizon [28]

The first thing I'll do is solve "5y = 2x + 20" for "<span>y=</span>", so that I can find my reference slope:

y = (2/5)x + 4;

So the reference slope from the reference line is <span>m = 2/5;</span>.

Now I need to find two new slopes, and use them with the point they've given me; namely, with the point (-1, 3). They want me to find the line through (4, –1) that is parallel to 5y = 2x + 20; that is, through the given point, they want me to find a line that has the same slope as the reference line. 

Since a parallel line has an identical slope, then the parallel line through (-1, 3) will have slope <span>m = 2/5</span>. Now I have a point and a slope! So I'll use the point-slope form to find the line: y - 3 = (2/5)( x + 1);

Finally, y = (2/5)x + 17/5;
