Write an equation of a line in slope intercept form that is parallel to the line x + 4y = 6 and passes through (-8, 5)

1 answer:

3 0

If the line is parallel, then their slope would be equal.
4y = -x + 6
y = -1/4 x + 3/2

Compare it with, y = mx + b
m = -1/4 [ Slope ]

Now, y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 5 = -1/4 (x + 8)
y - 5 = -1/4x - 2
y = -1/4x + 3

In short, Your Answer would be: y = -1/4x + 3

Bianca’s Bike Shop made a profit of $54,000 last year. This year, the profits were 250% of last year’s. How much profit did Bian

Alexandra [31]

Since the percent increase is bigger than 100%, it definitely has to be more than 54,000.

so let's break this down:
250%= 100% + 100% + 50%

we know 100% is the whole price so if there are 2 100% we have to multiply the price by two!!!
54,000•2 = 108,000

now, 50% is half of the whole price, divide the price by two:
54,000÷2= 27,000

so add your results and you will get this!
108,000+27,000= 135,000

Solve the system using the substituiton method<br> branliest offered<br> 3x-7y=10<br> x-4y=5

fiasKO [112]

Hi there!

To solve this problem using substitution, we need to set x equal to a value and substitute it into the other equation.

Since
x - 4y = 5,
x = 5 + 4y

3x - 7y = 10
3(5 + 4y) - 7y = 10
15 + 12y - 7y = 10
15 + 5y = 10
5y = -5
y = -1

Now that we know y is -1, we can substitute it back into the equation to find x:

y = -1
x - 4y = 5
x - 4(-1) = 5
x - (-4) = 5
x + 4 = 5
x = 1

So, your answers are x = 1 and y = -1.

Hope this helps!
