Answer:
y = -4/5x + 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
Step 1: Write equation in slope-intercept form
5y = -35 - 4x
y = -7 - 4/5x
Step 2: Write parallel line equation
y = -4/5x + 5
A parallel line is a line that has the same slope as the previous equation but a different y-intercept. They never intersect.
Answer:
A) x = (-8log(6)-2log(17))/(-2log(17)+log(6))
Step-by-step explanation:
Taking the logarithm of the equation, you have ...
(x+8)log(6) = (2x-2)log(17)
Subtracting the right side from the equation gives ...
x(log(6) -2log(17)) +8log(6)+2log(17) = 0
Subtracting the constant and dividing by the coefficient of x gives ...
x = -(8log(6) +2log(17))/(log(6) -2log(17)) . . . . . matches selection A
___
You don't need to work out the whole solution to determine the correct answer choice. Once you take the initial log, you find that the x-coefficient includes a multiplier of 2log(17). This term only appears in the denominator of choice A. (The value of x will be found after dividing by the x-coefficient, so you know this must show up in the denominator of the answer.)
