We need to compute for the length of each trophy given that one trophy is 5 inches wider than the other.
Let x be the length of the first trophy.
Let x+5 be the length of the second trophy
The solution is shown below:
x + (x + 5) = 17
x + x + 5 =17
2x =17 -5
2x = 12
x = 12/2
x=6 (for the first trophy)
x + 5 = 6+5 = 11 (for the second trophy)

The first trophy is 6 inches wide while the second trophy is 11 inches wide.

line J passes through points (-6,1) and (-3,6) . Line m is parallel to line j and passes through point (15,-1).what is the equat
VMariaS [17]
Slope of the line J
(6-1) / (-3-(-6))
5 / 3

so
m = 5/3

If this line passes through (15,-1)
y = mx + c
-1 = (5/3)*15 + c
-1 = 25 + c
c = -26

equation is
y = (5/3)x - 26

15. Write the slope-intercept form of the line described in the following:Parallel to 4x + 5y=20and passing through (12,4)
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Problem

Write the slope-intercept form of the line described in the following:

Parallel to 4x + 5y=20

and passing through (12,4)

Solution>

For this case we need to have the same slope, and if we write the equation given we see:

5y = 20 -4x

y = 4 -4/5 x

then the slope m = -4/5

and we also know a point given x= 12, y= 4 and we can do the following:

4 = -4/5 (12) +b

4 = -48/5 + b

And if we solve for the intercept we got:

b= 4 +48/5= -28/5

And our equation would be given by:

y = -4/5 x -28/5
