Answer:

7/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

=x/x+5.

x-5/x+5+4=⅛

x-5/x+9=⅛

x-5=⅛(x+9)

x-5=⅛x+1⅛

x-⅛x=1⅛+5

⅞x=49/8

7x=49

x=7

thus the initial fraction is x/x+5= <u>7</u><u>/</u><u>1</u><u>2</u>

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point with the given slope.
Alexandra [31]

The slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point with the given slope is y=-4x+1.

The given coordinate point is (-1, 5) and slope=-4.

<h3>What is the slope intercept form?</h3>

The slope intercept form of a straight line is one of the most common forms used to represent the equation of a line. The slope intercept formula can be used to find the equation of a line when given the slope of the straight line and the y-intercept.

The standard form of the slope intercept form is y=mx+c.

Substitute (x, y)=(-1, 5) and m=-4 in standard form of the slope intercept form, we get

5=-4×(-1)+c

⇒ c=5-4

⇒ c=1

Substitute m=-4 and c=1 in y=mx+c, we get

y=-4x+1

Therefore, the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point with the given slope is y=-4x+1.
