The equation of line parallel to y=-4x+5 is y = -4x-9

Further explanation:

Given equation of line is:

y = -4x+5

Comparing it with the standard form of equation

$y=mx+b\\Then\\m = -4$

As the slopes of parallel lines is equal, the slope of the line parallel to given line will be same. Putting the value of slope in standard equation.

$y = mx +b\\y = -4x +b$

To find the value of b, the given point will be put in the equation

$-1 = -4x -2\\-1 = -4(-2) +b\\-1 = 8 +b\\-1 -8 = b\\-9 = b$

Putting the values of b and m in standard form

$y = -4x -9$

So, the equation of line parallel to y=-4x+5 is y = -4x-9

There are about 320 million people living in the United States. Of these, how many would you predict wear corrective lenses

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

240 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Google said that three out of four people wear corrective lenses which is also 75%. So whats 75% out of 320 million? Half of 320 million is 160 million. Half of 160 million is 80 million, 160 million plus 80 million is 240 million.

An object has been thrown straight up into the air. The formula h = vt - 16t^2 gives the height of the object above the ground a

Oxana [17]

Answer:

8 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to find the time, $t$ , when $h = 0$ , that is, when the height of the object above the ground is 0 feet.

Substituting $v = 128$ feet per second and $h = 0$ gives the quadratic:

$0 = 128t - 16t^{2}$

Since 128 is divisible by 16, it can be reduced to $0 = 16(8t - t^{2})$ .

We must now solve for $t$ .

We can easily see that one answer to the equation is 0,

$8(0) - (0)^{2} = 0$ (we need not concern ourselves with the 16 outside of the parenthesis as in the equation above, since 16 multiplied by 0 is 0). However this is the time the object is released into the air.

The second answer, $t = 8$ is also easy to see by inspection:

$8(8) - (8)^{2} = 0$ .

Therefore the object lands 8 seconds after it is thrown.

How do I solve 5x - 4 = -19

ira [324]

Undo what has been done to the variable. That means to do the opposite done to the variable.
5x-4=-19
+4=+4
5x=-15
5 is being multiplied to the variable so you divide it from both sides.
x=-3
