Slope of a line parallel to the x -axis is 0

y = 5 is the required equation of a line parallel to the x-axis that passes though the point (4,5)

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that  a line parallel to the x-axis that passes though the point (4,5)

To find: slope of this line and equation of a line

The x -axis is a horizontal line with the equation y = 0 There are an infinite number of lines that are parallel to the x -axis, y = 0

All horizontal lines have slope of 0

If lines are parallel then they have the same slope. The slope of a line parallel to the x -axis is 0

The equation of a straight line parallel to x-axis at a distance b from it is y = b

Here "b" is the y - co-ordinate value

Here given point is (4, 5) so b = 5

The required equation is y = 5

<h3><u>Method 2:</u></h3>

We know slope "m" = 0

Given point is (4, 5)

<em><u>The slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>

y = mx + b --- eqn 1

Where "m" is the slope of line and "b" is the y - intercept

Substituting m = 0 and (x, y) = (4, 5)

5 = 0(4) + b

b = 5

Substitute b = 5  and m = 0 in eqn 1

y = 0 + 5

y = 5 is the required equation of a line parallel to the x-axis that passes though the point (4,5)

During gym class, Lenny, Lonnie, and Lainey measure the length of their long jumps. Lenny’s jump is ⅔ times the length of Lainey
Svetllana [295]

Answer: Lonnie’s Jump

Step-by-step explanation:

         (They just <em>had</em> to give three names that all started with L.)

         Since Lenny's jump is ⅔ times the length of Lainey’s, we can tell that Lenny's jump won't be the longest because it is already smaller than Lainey's.

         Since Lenny is now out of the picture, let us look at Lonnie and Lainey. Lonnie’s jump is 1 ⅓ times the length of Lainey’s. Since Lonnie's jump is longer than Laniey's, Lonnie's jump is the longest jump.

Determine whether $10.62/61lb = $7.05/4lb form a proportion. Explain.
dimaraw [331]
$10.62 / 61lb =$7.05 / 4 lb
se invierte $7.05 y 61 lb
$10.62/ $7.05 =61lb / 4lb
simplifica
$3.54/$2.35=61/4lb
