Answer:

y=2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this you first have to calculate the slope of the parallel line, since that would be equal to the slope of our line:

Slope=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

Now we insert the values into the formula:

Slope=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}\\Slope=\frac{5-7}{1-2}\\Slope= \frac{-2}{-1}\\ Slope:2

And remember that the formula for general line is:

Y-y1= M(x-x1)\\y-9=2(x-8=\\y=2x-16+9\\y=2x-7

So the equation for the line passing through point 8,9 and parallel to the line joining 2,7 and 1,5 would be y=2x-7

Answer:

2x - y - 7 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the slope of parallel line are same.

So, we can easily use formula,

y - y₁ = m ( x ₋ x₁)

where, (x₁, y₁) = (8, 9)

and m is a slope of line passing through (x₁, y₁).

and since the slope of parallel lines are same, so here we use slope of parallel line for calculation.

and, Slope = m = \dfrac{y_{b}-y_{a}}{x_{b}-x_{a}}

here, (xₐ, yₐ) = (2, 7)

and, (y_{a},y_{b}) = (1, 5 )

⇒ m = \dfrac{5-7}{1-2}

⇒ m = 2

Putting all values above formula. We get,

y - 9 = 2 ( x ₋ 8)

⇒ y - 9 = 2x - 16

⇒ 2x - y - 7 = 0

which is required equation.

Anna is draining water out of a 50 gallon rain barrel. The graph shows the relationship between time in minutes and the gallons
tatiyna

Answer:

6 < x ≤ 20

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's use the points (0, 50) and (20, 0) to find the equation of the line.

m = Δy / Δx

m = (0 − 50) / (20 − 0)

m = -2.5

y = -2.5x + 50

Now find the time when y = 35.

35 = -2.5x + 50

-15 = -2.5x

x = 6

So there is less than 35 gallons in the barrel when 6 < x ≤ 20.
