Answer:

2x +y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the equation of a line parallel to 2x+y=4 through point (-1, 3).

<h3>Parallel line</h3>

A parallel line will have the same slope, which is a function of the ratio of the x- and y-coefficients. Hence, the equation of the parallel line can use the same coefficients. It will have a constant suitable for the given point.

given: 2x +y = 4

parallel: 2x +y = c

through point (-1, 3): 2x +y = 2(-1) +(3) = 1

The equation of the parallel line is 2x+y = 1.

vesna_86 [32]

120 miles = 3 hrs
1 mile = 3/120 = 1/40
200 miles = 1/40 × 200
= 5 hrs

Could someone please help? I'll give brainliest.

Delvig [45]

Answer:

$x = - 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{8} = - \frac{1}{2}$

First, we multiply both fractions by 8:

$8( \frac{x}{8} ) = 8( - \frac{1}{2} )$

Simplify:

$x = - 4$

The function f(x) = 1.50x – 30 gives the amount of money Amelia has to spend each week for x school lunches, after taking money

Naya [18.7K]

To find the inverse, switch the x and y, and then solve for y (f(x) is the same as y)

So we get:
x=1.50y-30 (add 30 to both sides)
x+30=1.50y (divide both sides by 1.5)
x/1.5+30/1.5=y
y=x/1.5+20

Hope this helps

What is two and a quarter added to four and a quarter

xeze [42]

Answer:

6 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you write the fractions you get, 2 1/4 + 4 1/4. You first add the whole numbers and get 6, you then add the two 1/4's and get 2/4 which simplifies into 1/2.
