Answer: \frac{7}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line parallel to the line given will be the same. Parallel lines NEVER tough and cross each other. Therefore, the slope will be the same.

4y-7x=-4                [add both sides by 7x]

4y=7x-4                   [divide both sides by 4]

y=\frac{7x-4}{4}                       [*Remember, you are dividing both 7x and -4 by 4]

y=\frac{7}{4} x-1

Therefore, the slope is \frac{7}{4}.

Answer: The slope is  7/4 as well

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the equation into slope intercept form  and to determine the slope.

4y - 7x = - 4      Add 7x to both sides

    +7x         +7x

4y =  7x  -4       Now divide both sides by 4  

y = 7/4x - 1       In this case the slope is 7/4  and the y-intercept is -1 .

Now notice that the slope of parallel lines have the same slope and different  y-intercepts. Meaning that the slope of this line will be same as the slope of the other line.

Katen [24]

Answer:

  A = 1, B = 0, C = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The egg follows the path x = 7, so the equation is ...

  1x +0y = 7

A = 1, B = 0, C = 7

A boy has only dimes and quarters in his piggy bank. if he has 70 coins worth 12 dollars and 40 cents altogether, how many quart
dlinn [17]

Let us bear in mind the equivalent value of these coins: 

One dime = $0.10 

One quarter = $0.25 

Let x = number of dimes 

        y<span> = number of quarters</span> 

Since the boy has 70 coins in total, we can say that: 

<span>x + y = </span><span>70 </span>(can be written as x = 70 – y) 

Since the boy has a total of $12.40, we can say that: 

0.10x + 0.25y = 12.40 

To solve this problem, we need to solve this system of equation. We have to substitute the value of x as written in the first equation (x = 70 –y) 

0.10(70 – y) + 0.25y = 12.40 

7 – 0.10y + 0.25y = 12.40 

0.15y = 5.40 

y = 36 

X = 70 – 36 

X = 34 

Therefore,<span> the boys </span>has<span> 34 dimes and 36 quarters. To check our answer, we just have to check if his money would total $12.40.</span> 

34 dimes = $3.40 

36 dimes = $9.00 

<span>Total           </span><span>$12.40</span>

Based on the information given say whether or not △ABC∼△FED. Explain your reasoning.
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Yes, △ABC ∼ △FED by AA postulate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two triangles ABC and FED.

m∠A = m∠B

m∠C = m∠A + 30°

m∠E = m∠F = x

m∠D = 2x-20°.

Now, let m∠A = m∠B = y

So, m∠C = m∠A + 30° = y+30

Now, sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180°. Therefore,

m∠A + m∠B +  m∠C = 180

y+y+y+30=180\\3y=180-30\\3y=150\\y=\frac{150}{3}=50

Therefore, m∠A = 50°, m∠B = 50° and m∠C =  m∠A + 30° = 50 + 30 = 80°.

Now, consider triangle FED,

m∠D+ m∠E + m∠F = 180

2x-20+x+x=180\\4x=180+20\\4x=200\\x=\frac{200}{4}=50

Therefore,  m∠F = 50°  

m∠E = 50° and  

m∠D =  2x-20=2(50)-20=100-20=80\°

So, both the triangles have congruent corresponding angle measures.

m∠A = m∠F = 50°

m∠B = m∠E = 50°

m∠C = m∠D = 80°

Therefore, the two triangles are similar by AA postulate.

What is the slope of the line given by the equation y = -3x?
s2008m [1.1K]
The answer to this question would be B, -3. The reason for this is because when you have an equation in slope intercept form, it would be y = mx + b. In this case your b is equal to 0 so you have only y = mx. The variable m represents the slope, which is in this case, equal to -3. Hope this helps. Please rate, leave a thanks, and mark a brainiest answer. (Not necessarily mine). Thanks, it really helps! :D
