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

Triangle PQR has vertices P(–2, 6), Q(–8, 4), and R(1, –2). It is translated according to the rule (x, y) → (x – 2, y – 16).
Amanda [17]
Since you subtract 16 from the y value, P is (-2, 6), and the y value comes second (meaning that it's 6), we get 6-16=-10

Answer:

  2)  3 pages per hour

  3)  4/29 km per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Division by a fraction is the same as multiplication by the inverse of that fraction.

<h3>2) </h3>

  \dfrac{\ \dfrac{9}{4}\ }{\dfrac{3}{4}}=\dfrac{9}{4}\times\dfrac{4}{3}=\dfrac{36}{12}=\boxed{3\text{ pages per hour}}

__

<h3>3) </h3>

  \dfrac{2\text{ km}}{\dfrac{29}{2}\text{ min}}=2\times\dfrac{2}{29}\text{ km/min}=\boxed{\dfrac{4}{29}\text{ km/min}}

4m/5-2m/3=1 solve the equation
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

m = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

4m/5   - 2m/3  =1

We want to get rid of the fractions so multiply each side by 5*3 or 15

15 *(4m/5   - 2m/3 ) =1*15

15 *(4m/5)   -15( 2m/3 ) =1*15

Canceling like factors

3* 4m -5*2m = 15

Multiply

12m - 10m = 15

2m = 15

Divide each side by 2

2m/2 = 15/2

m = 7.5

You have 12 cups of granola and 8 1/2 cups of peanuts to make trail mix. What is the greatest number of full batches of trail mi
nikitadnepr [17]
Hello! Sorry that I'm late. Okay, so each batch calls for 2 2/3 cups of granola and 1 1/3 cups of peanuts. Let's divide the number of cups available total by the amount per batch. To divide fractions, keep the first fraction the same, change division into multiplication, and flip the other faction over. Let's do it. 12/1 * 3/8 = 36/8 or 4 1/2 in mixed number form. 17/2 * 3/4 = 51/8 or 6 3/8 in simplest form. You can only make 4 full batches of trail mix, because you can only use the full serving of both granola AND peanuts for 4 of them.
