Answer:
y = -3/4x - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope.
Solve for y in the equation to find the slope.
x - 4y = 4x
-4y = -x + 4x
-4y = 3x
y = 3/-4 x = -3/4x So the slope is -3/4 which is the coefficient of the
x term
Substitute the slope(m) = -3/4 and point (-8, -1) into y = mx + b to solve for "b"
y = mx + b
-1 = -3/4(-8) + b
-1 = 6 + b
-1 - 6 = b
-7 = b
The equation of the new line: y = mx + b
y = -3/4x - 7
Answer:
What
Step-by-step explanation:
They would cost $8.75. If you take out 30% from the original price, that is how much they would be.
To find this, turn the word question into an equation.
"One less than" means - 1, which is 1 being subtracted from something.
"half a number" means 1/2x, since 1/2 is half and x is unknown.
"is 12" means = 12, which is something equals 12.
Putting this in order would be 1/2x, then - 1, then = 12.
As an equation, this is 1/2x - 1 = 12.
So the equation is 1/2x - 1 = 12
Now you must find the number by solving this equation.
1/2x - 1 = 12
First, add 1 to both sides.
12 + 1 = 13
1/2x = 13
Now multiply both sides by 2.
This way, x will be isolated since 1/2x • 2 = 1x, and 1x = x.
13 • 2 = 26
x = 26
The number is 26.
