We will be using the Point Slope formula which is $y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )$

The information we are given is that m = -4 and the point is (2,-5), so we can input it into the equation.

$y- (-5) = -4(x-2)$

This simplifies into $y+5 = -4x +8$

Then we can subtract 5 from each side to get the answer:

$y = 4x+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution :

hello :

note :

Use the point-slope formula.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) when : x_1= -1 y_1= 5

m= the slope is : (YC - YA)/(XC -XA)

(-1-2)/(0-3) = -3/-3 =1

( parallel to AC means same slope)

an equation in the point-slope form is : y -5 = 1(x+1)

y=x+6

Someone please help me I suck @ simplifying thank you

To solve this question, you would need to find the common denominator among the 2 fractions. In this case it would be

72.

Then multiply numbers to both of the fractions to get to the bottom number in both fractions equaling 72.

40/72 + 27/72 =67/72.

Try to reduce to lowest terms by dividing a common number from both of them if possible.
