Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y=-5/4x + 7
Any line parallel to the given line will have the same slope. In an equation presented in the y-intercept form, the slope is always the coefficient of "x". In this case, the slope is -5/4 (meaning the next point is down 5, and 4 to the right).
Our equation so far looks like this: y = -5/4x + b
"b" represents the y-intercept. To solve for be, we will need to substitute values into x and y. The next piece of information it gives us is one of the points, or solutions, of the line. This means that since this point is on the line, we can use its x and y values to substitute.
x = -4
y= 1
y = -5/4x + b
1 = -5/4(-4) + b
1 = 5 + b
-4 = b
Final Answer: y = -(5/4)x -4
Answer: f(x) < 0 over the intervals (–infinity, –2.7) and
(–1, 0.8).

I got it right
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a picture!
You get a right triangle with hypotenuse = 20 ft and horizontal leg = 12 ft
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the vertical leg:
vertical leg = √(20²-12²) = √256 = 16 ft
