Hi there! The answer is y = x - 1

The general equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y = ax + b, with a representing the slope. Since this line is parallel to y = x + 4, the value of a (the slope) = 1.

Hence, y = 1x + b = x + b.
The line passes through the point (6, 5), so we can plug in the 6 at x and the 5 at y.

5 = 6 + b
Subtract 6.

- 1 = b
Switch sides.

b = - 1.
And therefore the answer is y = x - 1

~ Hope this helps you!

Answer:

y=-1/3x+7

When graphed, the only answer that fits that description is the one stated above.

Leah loves chicken wings and is comparing the deals at three different restaurants. Buffalo Bills has 888 wings for \$7$7dollar

ella [17]

Cost of chicken wings at Buffalo Bills = 8 wings for $7

Cost of 1 wing at Buffalo Bills = $\frac{7}{8} =0.875$

Cost of chicken wings at Buffalo Mild Wings = 12 wings for $10

Cost of 1 wing at Buffalo Mild Wings = $\frac{10}{12}= 0.833$

Cost of chicken wings at Wingers = 20 wings at $17

Cost of 1 wing at Wingers = $\frac{17}{20}= 0.850$

Hence, comparing all the three costs per wing, we can see that Buffalo Mild Wings is serving chicken wings at lowest price of $0.833 per wing.

The following set of coordinates most specifically represents which figure? (−5, 6), (−1, 8), (3, 6), (−1, 4) (6 points) Paralle

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Rhombus

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are A(−5, 6), B(−1, 8), C(3, 6), D(−1, 4).

We use the distance formula to find the length of AB.

$|AB|=\sqrt{(-1--5)^2+(8-6)^2}$

$|AB|=\sqrt{16+4}$

$|AB|=\sqrt{20}$

The length of AD is

$|AD|=\sqrt{(-1--5)^2+(6-4)^2}$

$|AD|=\sqrt{16+4}$

$|AD|=\sqrt{20}$

The length of BC is:

$|BC|=\sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(8-6)^2}$

$|BC|=\sqrt{16+4}$

$|BC|=\sqrt{20}$

The length of CD is

$|CD|=\sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(6-4)^2}$

$|CD|=\sqrt{16+4}$

$|CD|=\sqrt{20}$

Since all sides are congruent the quadrilateral could be a rhombus or a square.

Slope of AB $=\frac{8-6}{-1--5}=\frac{1}{2}$

Slope of BC $=\frac{8-6}{-1-3}=-\frac{1}{2}$

Since the slopes of the adjacent sides are not negative reciprocals of each other, the quadrilateral cannot be a square. It is a rhombus
