0.5x - 5y = 9

<u>Make y the subject:</u>

5y = 0.5x - 9

y = 0.1x - 1.8

Match equation with y = mx + b

m = slope = 0.1

Parallel Slope = 0.1

Answer: The slope of the parallel line is 0.1

The slopes of parallel line are the same.

We have: 0.5x - 5y = 9

Let's transform to slope-intercept form y = mx + b

0.5x - 5y = 9 |-0.5x

-5y = -0.5x + 9 |:(-5)

y = 0.1x - 1.8

Your answer is m = 0.1

I need help with #1 of this problem. It has writings on it because I just looked up the answer because I’m confused but I want t

In the figure below

1) Using the theorem of similar triangles (ΔBXY and ΔBAC),

$\frac{BX}{BA}=\frac{BY}{BC}=\frac{XY}{AC}$

Where

$\begin{gathered} BX=4 \\ BA=5 \\ BY=6 \\ BC\text{ = x} \end{gathered}$

Thus,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{5}=\frac{6}{x} \\ \text{cross}-\text{multiply} \\ 4\times x=6\times5 \\ 4x=30 \\ \text{divide both sides by the coefficient of x, which is 4} \\ \text{thus,} \\ \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{30}{4} \\ x=7.5 \end{gathered}$

thus, BC = 7.5

2) BX = 9, BA = 15, BY = 15, YC = y

In the above diagram,

$\begin{gathered} BC=BY+YC \\ \Rightarrow BC=15\text{ + y} \end{gathered}$

Thus, from the theorem of similar triangles,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{BX}{BA}=\frac{BY}{BC}=\frac{XY}{AC} \\ \frac{9}{15}=\frac{15}{15+y} \end{gathered}$

solving for y, we have

$\begin{gathered} \frac{9}{15}=\frac{15}{15+y} \\ \text{cross}-\text{multiply} \\ 9(15+y)=15(15) \\ \text{open brackets} \\ 135+9y=225 \\ \text{collect like terms} \\ 9y\text{ = 225}-135 \\ 9y=90 \\ \text{divide both sides by the coefficient of y, which is 9} \\ \text{thus,} \\ \frac{9y}{9}=\frac{90}{9} \\ \Rightarrow y=10 \end{gathered}$

thus, YC = 10.

How would you teach something you have learned this year in Math to someone younger than you? Write more than 5 sentences.

deff fn [24]

I would start by saying how much I enjoyed this lesson and how it has helped me in many ways I would also like to state how it was difficult at first but once I started to understand it, it became really easy and would like to thanks the teacher for teaching it.

2) A gym charges a $30 membership fee and $10 per month. Write an

kari74 [83]

C = 10m + 30, where C is total cost and m is # of months

C = 10(5) + 30

C = 50 + 30

C = $80

$160 = 10m + 30

160 - 30 = 10m

130/10 = m

m = 13 months

Hope that helps
