The equation of line f is y − 9 = -5(x + 7) . Line g is parallel to line f and passes through (3, -8) . What is the equation of

line g? Write the equation in slope-intercept form. Write the numbers in the equation as proper fractions, improper fractions, or integers.

Answer:

The slope intercept form: y = - 5x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of line f is y − 9 = -5(x + 7)

You need to find the slope of line f

y - 9 = -5(x + 7)

In point slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m = slope

In the line f, slope m = -5

Parallel lines, slope is the same so slope of line g is also equal - 5

Line g passes through (3, - 8) so equation in point slope form:

y + 8 = -5(x - 3)

y + 8 = -5x + 15

y = -5x + 7 <-----this is slope intercept form

In January, Emma was 62.25 in tall. In December, she was 65.5 inches tall. How much did Emma grow between January and December?

WINSTONCH [101]

she "grew" negative 3.25 inches

it is negative because she was taller in December than she was in January

A rectangle has a length of x and a width of x

Delvig [45]

Answer: Yes, because remember there is 2 lengths and widths so x times 2 is 2x and x - 5 times 2 is 2x - 10, so 2x + 2x -10 = 4x -10, so it would be a reasonable answer.

Step-by-step explanation: Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

$x=\frac{15}{4}=3\frac{3}{4}$

Equation:

$\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{5}{6} =\frac{10}{3}$

<h3>Step-by-step solution</h3>

Linear equations with one unknown

_____________________________________

1. Group all constants on the right side of the equation

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x+\frac{5}{6}=\frac{10}{3}$

Subtract $5/6$ from both sides:

$\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{5}{6}-\frac{5}{6}=\frac{10}{3}-\frac{5}{6}$

Combine the fractions:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x+\frac{5-5}{6}=\frac{10}{3}-\frac{5}{6}$

Combine the numerators:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x+\frac{0}{6}=\frac{10}{3}-\frac{5}{6}$

Reduce the zero numerator:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x+0=\frac{10}{3}-\frac{5}{6}$

Simplify the arithmetic:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{10}{3}-\frac{5}{6}$

Find the lowest common denominator:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{10\cdot 2}{3\cdot 2}+\frac{-5}{6}$

Multiply the denominators:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{10\cdot 2}{6}+\frac{-5}{6}$

Multiply the numerators:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{20}{6}+\frac{-5}{6}$

Combine the fractions:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{20-5}{6}$

Combine the numerators:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{15}{6}$

Find the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{5\cdot 3}{2\cdot 3}$

Factor out and cancel the greatest common factor:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{5}{2}$

2. Isolate the x

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot x=\frac{5}{2}$

Multiply both sides by inverse fraction 3/2:

$\frac{2}{3}x\cdot \frac{3}{2}=\frac{5}{2}\cdot \frac{3}{2}$

Group like terms:

$\frac{2}{3}\cdot \frac{3}{2}x=\frac{5}{2}\cdot \frac{3}{2}$

Simplify the fraction:

$x=\frac{5}{2}\cdot \frac{3}{2}$

Multiply the fractions:

$x=\frac{5\cdot 3}{2\cdot 2}$

Simplify the arithmetic:

$x=\frac{15}{2\cdot 2}$

Simplify the arithmetic:

$x=\frac{15}{4}$

Why learn this

Linear equations cannot tell you the future, but they can give you a good idea of what to expect so you can plan ahead. How long will it take you to fill your swimming pool? How much money will you earn during summer break? What are the quantities you need for your favorite recipe to make enough for all your friends?

Linear equations explain some of the relationships between what we know and what we want to know and can help us solve a wide range of problems we might encounter in our everyday lives.
