For palarell lines, slope are equal.
slope of first line = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-7 - 9)/(-12 - 8) = -16/-20 = 4/5
equation of a line passing through a point is given by: y - y1 = m(x - x1); where (x1, y1) = (-5, -15) and m = 4/5.
Therefore equation of the line is y - (-15) = 4/5(x - (-5))
y + 15 = 4/5(x + 5)

The slope of the line of the line is calculated through the equation,
                        m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Using the first two points in the given,
                        m = (-7 - 9) / (-12 - 8) = 4/5
The line parallel to this has also a slope of 4/5. Through the point-slope form, the equation of the second line is,
                         y - -15 = (4/5)(x - -5)
Simplifying gives the answer of,
                                      y = (4/5)x -11
Eliminating the fraction, 
                                      5y = 4x - 55

You have been asked to build a scale model of a restaurant out of bottle caps. The restaurant is 20 feet tall. Your scale is 2.4
Amanda [17]

Answer:

40\ bottle\ caps

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The scale is \frac{2.4}{1}\ \frac{cm}{ft}

That means

2.4 cm in the model represent 1 foot in the real

In this problem

The restaurant is 20 feet tall

Find the height of the model

Multiply the actual height of the restaurant by the scale 2.4

20\ ft=20(2.4)=48\ cm

A bottle cap is 1.2 cm tall

To find out the number of bottle caps divide the height of the model by 1.2

\frac{48}{1.2}= 40\ bottle\ caps
