Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(2,1), (-2,-1)

slope(m) = (-1-1) / (-2 - 2) = -2/-4 = 1/2

parallel lines will have the same slope

y = mx + b

slope(m) = 1/2

(-4,8)...x = -4 and y = 8

now sub and find b, the y int

8 = 1/2(-4) + b

8 = -2 + b

8 + 2 = b

10 = b

so ur equation is : y = 1/2x + 10 <==

Answer:

\displaystyle x - 2y = -20\:OR\:y = \frac{1}{2}x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the <em>rate of</em><em> </em><em>change</em><em> </em>[<em>slope</em>]:

\displaystyle \frac{-y_1 + y_2}{-x_1 + x_2} = m \\ \\ \frac{-1 - 1}{-2 - 2} = \frac{-2}{-4} = \frac{1}{2}

Now plug [−4, 8] into the Slope-Intercept Formula instead of the <em>Point-Slope</em><em> </em><em>Formula</em><em> </em>because you get it done much more swiftly:

8 = ½[−4] + b

−2

\displaystyle 10 = b \\ \\ y = \frac{1}{2}x + 10

If you want it in <em>Standard</em><em> </em><em>Form</em>:

y = ½x + 10

- ½x - ½x

__________

−½x + y = 10 [We do not want fractions in our standard equation, so multiply by the denominator to get rid of it.]

−2[−½x + y = 10]

\displaystyle x - 2y = -20

IrinaK [193]
The professional runner can run 4 1/6 miles in 30 minutes.

Since the professional can run 1 1/4 times as far in 30 minutes, we multiply 3 1/3 by 1 1/4:

(3 1/3)(1 1/4)

Convert each to an improper fraction (multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator):
10/3(5/4) = 50/12 = 25/6 = 4 1/6.
