Write the equation of the line that passes through (-4,3) and is parallel to y = -2x - 8.
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

y = -2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation if the line be y = mx + c

since the line is parallel to y = -2x - 8, their gradients/slope must be the same (aka m = -2)

sub (-4, 3):

3 = -2(-4) + c

c = -5

therefore, the equation of the line is y = -2x - 5

This is a question on coordinate geometry. If you wish to venture further into it/understand this topic better, you may want to follow my Instagram account (learntionary), where I post some of my own notes on certain topics and also some tips that may be useful to you :)

A bus leaves Los Angeles at 8am moving northeast at 60 mph. Three hours later, a truck leaves the same place traveling 1 2/3 tim
love history [14]

Answer:

7.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the variable 't' for time, you can set up an equation to find out how long it will take the truck to catch up to the  bus.  Since the bus is traveling at 60mph and the truck is traveling 1 2/3 times faster, we need to first find the rate of the truck:

1\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{3}

\frac{60}{1}*\frac{5}{3}=\frac{300}{3}=100mph

Using 't' and the knowledge that they will have traveled the same distance we the truck catches up to the bus and the fact that the truck left 3 hours later:

60t = 100(t - 3)  or 60t = 100t - 300

Solve for 't':  60t - 100t = -300 or -40t = -300  so, t = 7.5 hours
