Write the equation of the line that goes through the point (−9, −4) and is parallel to the line −x + 3y = −0.5

inysia [295]

Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{3}x -1$

Explanation:

Given

Parallel to: $-x + 3y = -0.5$

Passes through (-9,-4)

Required

Determine the line equation

First, we calculate the slope (m) of the said line

$-x + 3y = -0.5$

Make y the subject

$3y = x - 0.5$

Divide through by 3

$y = \frac{1}{3}x - \frac{0.5}{3}$

An equation has the general form:

$y = mx + b$

Where

$m = slope$

So:

$m = \frac{1}{3}$

Because the required line is parallel to $-x + 3y = -0.5$ , then they have the same slope of $m = \frac{1}{3}$

Next, is to calculate the line equation using:

$y = m(x - x_1) + y_1$

Where

$m = \frac{1}{3}$

$(x_1,y_1) = (-9,-4)$

This gives:

$y = \frac{1}{3}(x -(-9)) + (-4)$

$y = \frac{1}{3}(x +9) -4$

Open bracket

$y = \frac{1}{3}x +3 -4$

$y = \frac{1}{3}x -1$

Ellen has 20 feet of ribbon. She use12 feet of the ribbon to make pillows. She gives 1/4 of the ribbon to her friend. How many i

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Ellen gave 24 inches of her ribbon to the friend.

Explanation:

The total length of ribbon Ellen has = 20 feet

Used to make pillows = 12 feet

Remaining ribbon = 20-12 = 8 feet

Given to her friend = 1/4

1/4 of 8 = 1/4 × 8 = 2 feet

so she gave 2 feet of ribbon to her friend.

As there are 12 inches in 1 foot.

2 feet in inches = 24 inches

Therefore, Ellen gave 24 inches of her ribbon to the friend.
