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.

Let f(x) = 4x – 5 and g(x) = 3x + 7. find f(x) + g(x) and state its domain.
Tema [17]

We are given the functions:

f(x) = 4 x – 5                       ---> 1

g(x) = 3 x + 7                       ---> 2

 

To find for the value of f(x) + g(x), all we have to do is to add equations 1 and 2:

f(x) + g(x) = 4 x – 5 + 3 x + 7

f(x) + g(x) = 7 x + 2 = y

 

In this case, for any real number value assign to x, we get a real number value of y. This is because the function is linear.

Therefore the domain of the function is all real numbers.

Which is greater than 1/7 or 4/6
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

4/6

Step-by-step explanation:

you multiply until both numbers have the same denominator so 1/7 times 6/6 equals 6/42 and multiply 4/6 times 7/7 it would be 28/42 so the answer would be that 4/6 is greater.
