What the equation parallel to y=-1/5x +7 and containing the point(-10,-3)

Agata [3.3K]

The equation of line parallel to $y=-\frac{1}{5} x +7$ and containing the point(-10,-3) is $y=-\frac{1}{5}x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write the equation parallel to $y=-\frac{1}{5} x +7$ and containing the point(-10,-3)

The standard form of point slope equation is:

$y=mx+b$

where m is slope and b is y-intercept

Comparing the given equation $y=-\frac{1}{5} x +7$ with standard form the slope is m= -1/5

Since the lines are parallel the slope of new line is m = -1/5

Now finding b (y-intercept)

Using slope m=-1/5 and point (-10,-3)

$y=mx+b\\-3=-\frac{1}{5}(-10)+b\\-3=2+b\\b=-3-2\\b=-5$

So, b= -5 and slope = -1/5 the equation of new line is:

$y = mx+b\\y=-\frac{1}{5}x-5$

So, The equation of line parallel to $y=-\frac{1}{5} x +7$ and containing the point(-10,-3) is $y=-\frac{1}{5}x-5$

There are 48 female performers in a dance recital. The ratio of men to women is 5:6. How many men are in the dance recital?

Rainbow [258]

Since you said men to women, there are 5 men in the dance recital and 6 women in the dance recital.

1. Look how the problem states. Ex: Ratio of men to women.

2. Look at the ratio. 5:48.

3. We know that there are 48 female performers at the dance recital.

So, there are 5 men at the dance recital.
