What is an equation of the line that is parallel to y=9−5x and passes through (0, 8) ?
1 answer:
Answer:
y = -5x Y8
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope.
Your function is
y = 9 − 5x = -5x+ 9
slope = -5
The parallel line
The line must have slope = -5 and include (0, 8), so
8 = -5×(0) + b
8 = 0 + b
b = 8
The equation for the parallel line is
y = -5x + 8
In the diagram below, the red line is the graph of y = 9 -5x.
The parallel blue line is the graph of y = -5x + 8.

I'm assuming all of (x^2+9) is in the denominator. If that assumption is correct, then,
One possible answer is
Another possible answer is
There are many ways to do this. The idea is that when we have f( g(x) ), we basically replace every x in f(x) with g(x)
So in the first example above, we would have
In that third step, g(x) was replaced with x^2+9 since g(x) = x^2+9.
Similar steps will happen with the second example as well (when g(x) = x^2)
