For the answer to the question above,
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

I hope my answer helped you.

The equation of the line that is parallel<br> to 4x+2 and passing through (5,15)
Mila [183]

Answer:

y=4x-5.

Step-by-step explanation:

slop-interception form of the required line is y=kx+b, where k - slop, b - intercept;

1) to find value of k:

if the required line is parallel to the given line, then slop of the given line = slop of the required line, it means k=4 and the required line is y=4x+b;

2) to find the value of 'b':

if to substitute the given coordinates into the equation of the given line, then:

15=4*5+b, b= -5.

3) finally, y=4x-5

If p(x) = 3x – 2and n (x) = 2x – 5, what is the value of (n/p) (1)?
Liula [17]

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

We want (n/p)(1).  We can obtain this by finding n(1) and p(1) and then dividing as indicated:

p(1) = 3(1) - 2 = 1

n(1) = 2(1) - 5 = -3

Then   (n/p) (1) = -3/1, or just -3
