To find the equation of a line that is parallel to your original equation and goes through a certain point on a graph, here's what you need to know:
First you need to find the slope of your original equation.
To do that, you need to convert it to slope intercept form (y = mx+b).
Add the x over, and then divide everything by 5 to get the y by itself.
Here's what that would look like (without the small steps that I mentioned):
-x + 5y = 25
5y = x + 25
y = 1/5x + 5
That's the original equation rewritten in slope intercept form.
The m represents the slope, so this equation's slope is 1/5.
Because you are given a point, and now you have a slope, the best and easiest route is using point slope form.
I've seen different versions of the equation base but I prefer y - y(sub1) = m(x - x(sub1))
But since I can't use subscripts in this, I'll use the one with h and k. The h is the x value of the point, and the k is the y value.
(h,k)
Then just substitute the values in and solve for y.
y - k = m(x - h)
y + 5 = 1/5(x + 5)
y + 5 = 1/5x + 1
y = 1/5x - 4
Your final answer is
y = 1/5x - 4
You can double check by using a graph. If the slopes are the same, the lines should be parallel.
I hope that helps. If anything didn't make sense, feel free to ask me.
Answer:
-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Moving all terms of the quadratic to one side, we have
.
A quadratic has one real solution when the discriminant is equal to 0. In a quadratic 
, the discriminant is 
.
(The discriminant is more commonly known as 
, but I changed the variable since we already have a 
in the quadratic given.)
In the quadratic above, we have 
, 
, and 
. Plugging this into the formula for the discriminant, we have
.
Using the distributive property to expand and simplifying, the expression becomes
Setting the discriminant equal to 0 gives
.
We can then solve the equation as usual: first, divide by 2 on both sides:
.
Squaring both sides gives
,
and subtracting 5 from both sides, we have
Answer:
1). 24
2). 8
Explanation:
1).
285$ - 45$ = 240$
240$/10 = 24$
Therefore, he pays 24$ a month.
2).
Let x be the number than triple:
3x - 5 = 19
3x = 19 + 5
3x = 24
x = 24/3
x = 8
5(3)-(-3)
15- (-3)
15+3 = 18
