The line is parallel to

Mathematics
1 answer:
tino4ka555 [31]3 years ago
8 0

Recall that parallel lines have the same slope.

A line parallel to y= (-3/5)x + 8 would have the same equation EXCEPT for a different constant, C, replacing that '8.'

This new line passes thru (-5,-3).  In y= (-3/5)x + C, replace x with -5 and replace y with -3.  Then:

-3 = (-3/5)(-5) + C.  Find C:

-3 = 3 + C.  Thus, C = 6


Thus, the equation of the new line is y= -(3/5)x - 6

Check:  Let x = -5 and y = -3.  Is the above equation true?

-3 = (-3/5)(-5) - 6

-3 = 3 - 6, or -3 = -3.

Answer:

A= 61

B=119

Step by step:

a; interior angle

180-(27+92)

=180(119)

=61

b; exterior angle

180-61

=119

If 5(3x-7)=20, then what is 6x-8 ?
Colt1911 [192]
First solve for x in the first equation. So you'll have to substitute,
5(3x-7)=20
15x-35=20
Then add 35 to both sides.
15x=55
Divide 55 by 15.
So x = 3.66...
Then plug in 3.7 for x in 6x-8
6(3.7)-8
Its approximately 14.2

What is the y-intercept of the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y =
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

y=-5/3x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation of the required line be represented as \[y=mx+c\]

This line is perpendicular to the line \[y=\frac{3}{5}x+10\]

\[=>m*\frac{3}{5}=-1\]

\[=>m=\frac{-5}{3}\]

So the equation of the required line becomes \[y=\frac{-5}{3}x+c\]

This line passes through the point (15.-5)

\[-5=\frac{-5}{3}*15+c\]

\[=>c=20\]

So the equation of the required line is \[y=\frac{-5}{3}x+20\]

Among the given options, option 4 is the correct one.

And it's elimination using addition and subtraction <br> x-y=1<br> x+y=3
MatroZZZ [7]
Get one x+y=3 to y=x+3 and plug it into x-y=1 and you get x-(x+3)=1. Destitute the x and solve. Once you get what x equals plug it to to either equation for the value of x and solve for y
