Answer:

y=-1/4x-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines are parallel, they have the same slope.

So for this line, we already know that the slope (m) has to equal -1/4x.

Slope intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

in order to find the equation, we must plug in x and y to solve for b, the y intercept (the value of y when x=0).

Now, let's plug in 2 for x and -1 for y and solve for b:

-1=-1/4(2)+b=-1=-1/2+b=-1+1/2=b

b=-1/2

Hence, the answer is y=-1/4x-1/2

A certain ferry moves up and down a river between Town A and
Blizzard [7]

Answer: 60 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

It takes ferry 2 hours to travel to town A and only 1.5\ hr to travel back to town B.

Speed of current is u=5\ mph

Suppose the speed of the ferry is v mph

Distance traveled in both the cases is same, but it took more time traveling to city A that is, ferry is moving upstream and downstream for returning time.

\Rightarrow 2(v-5)=1.5(v+5)\\\Rightarrow 2v-10=1.5v+7.5\\\Rightarrow 0.5v=17.5\\\Rightarrow v=35\ mph

Distance between the towns is 2\times (35-5)=60\ \text{miles}

2 5/8 as a rational number ??
arlik [135]

Answer:

It's already a rational number?

Step-by-step explanation:

A rational number is any number that can be written as a fraction/ratio, and 2\frac{5}{8} is certainly a fraction. If you meant 2\frac{5}{8} as a decimal, then it'd be 2.625.

Is (2, -4) a solution to the inequality 2x - 3y < 15? Yes or No
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

We substitute the values x = 2 and y = -4 into the inequality.

Left side = 2(2) - 3(-4) = 4 + 12

= 16

Now the right side is 15 so we get 16 < 15 which is incorrect.

So (2, -4) is not a solution.
