Write an equation of the line parallel to x+2y=-4 through the point (-8,5) show all work

Answer:

The equation of the parallel line would be y = -1/2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To start we need to find the slope of the original  line. We can do that by solving for y.

x + 2y = -4

2y = -x - 4

y = -1/2x - 2

Since the slope of the original line is -1/2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have -1/2 slope. Now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = -1/2(x + 8)

y - 5 = -1/2x - 4

y = -1/2x + 1

How can you tell there is no solution of a system of equations by looking at the equations or the graph? Explain.​
sashaice [31]
Each shows two lines that make up a system of equations. If the graphs of the equations intersect, then there is one solution that is true for both equations. If the graphs of the equations do not intersect (for example, if they are parallel), then there are no solutions that are true for both equations.

×-2+2×+4+2×-2=180 what does x equal in this equation.
daser333 [38]

Answer:

<u>x = 36</u>

Here's how I got that:

<em>    - Group like terms -</em>

x - 2 + 2x + 4 + 2x - 2 = 180

                    ↓

      5x - 2 + 4 - 2 = 180

                    ↓

              5x = 180

<em>  - Divide both sides by 5 - </em>

<em>         </em>  5x/5 = 180/5

                   ↓

<em>                </em><u><em>x </em></u><u>= 36</u>

<em>~ That's all folks ~</em>

Why is 1/8 greater than 1/10 but less than 1/3
Eddi Din [679]
Because in '1/8', there are 8 whole number but one shaded and in '1/10', there are 10 whole number and one shaded. as you see in the picture, the smaller the denominator is(when it goes up), the more bigger it is than those below. So 1/8 is greater than 1/10. but 1/8 is smaller than 1/3, because remember:
*The more you go down(or the higher the denominator is), the more you are making the fraction into more smaller pieces.

Find the values for m and n that would make the following equation true.
dimaraw [331]

You would solve it in two parts.

4*n = 44     Divide by 4

4n/4 = 44/4

n = 11

=============

z^m * z^2 = z^9

When the bases are the same (on the left) the powers on the left add

m + 2

The powers on the left side of the equation are the same as the powers on the right when the bases are the same.

m + 2 = 9                 Subtract 2 from both sides.

m + 2 - 2 = 9 - 2

m = 7

=================

Answers

m = 7

n = 11
