Answer:

x - 5y = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  rewrite the equation of the given line in to slope-intercept form by solving for y

 x = 5y - 9    

     -5y = -x - 9               (subtract 5y and x from both sides)

        y = x/5 + 9/5           (divide both side by -5)

Step 2:  Our line is parallel to this line, so it has the same slope, but a different  y-intercept, so set up the equation...

  y = x/5 + b      

We are given a  point (x, y) of (2, -4), so plug that in and solve for b.  

 -4 = 2/5 + b

            -4 - 2/5 = b      (subtract 2/5 from both sides to isolate b)  

                   -20/5 - 2/5 = b

 

                         -22/5 = b      (simplify)

So the equation of our line is  y = x/5 - 22/5

Step 3:  Standard form is ax + by = c, where a is a positive integer

subtract x/5 from both sides...

-x/5 + y = - 22/5

multiply by -5 so x becomes a positive integer

x - 5y = 22

Find the value of y when x equals -1.<br><br> 8x - 2y =10
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

y = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute in -1 for x

8(-1) - 2y = 10

-8 - 2y = 10

Subtract -8 from both sides

-8 - (-8) cancels out to 0

10 - (-8) = 18

We are left with:

-2y = 18

Divide by -2 on both sides.

-2y/-2 = y

18/-2 = -9

y = -9

A person is skateboarding to their local skate shop to pick up some sick rims. They skate at 8 miles per hour. The store is 2.5
belka [17]

Answer: 0.3125 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for time taken to cover a distance is:

= Distance / Speed

Distance = 2.5 miles

Speed = 8 miles per  hour

Time taken = 2.5 / 8

= 0.3125 hours

In minutes this is:

= 0.3125 * 60 mins

= 19 mins approx
