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.

algol [13]

Both the graphical lines will intersect at (4,12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; We must find the point in the graph where the lines of y=2.5x+2 and y=2x+4 intersect. To find out the intersecting point we must substitute values of x in both equations and see in which co-ordinate they are the same.

Step 2; We plot various values of x on the line governed by the equation y=2.5x+2

For a value of x=1 , y=2.5(1) + 2 = 4.5

For a value of x=2 , y=2.5(2) + 2 = 7

For a value of x= 3, y=2.5(3) + 2 = 9.5

For a value of x= 4, y=2.5(4) + 2 = 12

For a value of x= 5, y=2.5(5) + 2 = 14.5

Step 3; Now we also plot the values of x on the other line governed by y=2x+4

For a value of x= 1, y=2(1) + 4 = 6

For a value of x= 2, y=2(2) + 4 = 8

For a value of x= 3, y=2(3) + 4 = 10

For a value of x= 4, y=2(4) + 4 = 12

For a value of x= 5, y=2(5) + 4 = 14

Step 4; For both lines we must see if any of the values repeat at a particular point. In this case at the point (4,12) repeats for both so that becomes the point of intersection.

#5. What is the length of segment DC ?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

because since AC is 24 units long, and BC is half of AC, then that would be 12 units, and since DC is half of BC, then that would be six units.

The tile along the edge of a triangular community pool needs to be replaced.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Third option: 12x^2+8x+25

Step-by-step explanation:

s1=8x^2

s2=4x^2+15

s3=8x+10

Total perimeter of the pool edge: P

P=s1+s2+s3

Replacing s1, s2 and s3 in the formula above:

P=(8x^2)+(4x^2+15)+(8x+10)

P=8x^2+4x^2+15+8x+10

Adding like terms:

P=12x^2+8x+25
