Answer:

y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

To write the equation of a line use the point slope formula y - y_1 = m(x-x_1). Find m by using the slope formula with the points.

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{1--3}{-5-7} =\frac{4}{-12} =-\frac{1}{3}

Since the line is parallel, it will have the same slope.

Substitute m = -1/3 and (-3,-4).

y --4 = -\frac{1}{3}(x --3)\\y + 4 = -\frac{1}{3}(x+3)\\y +4 = -\frac{1}{3}x - 1\\y = -\frac{1}{3}x - 5

42/40 into a mixed number is??
SSSSS [86.1K]
Hello there!

So, as we see that 42 is more than the denominator, so, we would have to see by how much it would be over.

40-42=2.

So, sense we have an whole number which would be (1)

Your answer: \boxed{\boxed{\bf 1\frac{2}{40} }}

4m+5+5m+40=180 Help!!!
OLEGan [10]

First, let's put all of the variables together.

4m + 5m + 5 + 40 = 180.

Add them.

M is the same multiplier, so we can add 4 and 5 together to make 9m.

Add 5 and 40.

9m + 45 = 180.

From here, we can go two ways. I will show the first way, which is my personal  preference.

We want to get rid of the coefficient on m to isolate it, so we must divide it by its coefficient. The coefficient on m is 9. So, divide m by 9. We must also divide everything else by 9.

9m/9 = 1m

45/9 = 5

180/9 = 20

Plug it in--

m + 5 = 20.

Subtract the 5 from both sides to isolate m.

m = 15.
