X=3; you can set up a proportion using the slope equation. So (y[sub2]-y[sub1])/(x[sub2]-x[sub1])=2/1 then plug in the values and simplify. Then cross multiply and solve for x. Rest of work shown in the picture

Answer:

x =  3

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have equal slopes.

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = A(- 7, - 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(- 3, x), then

m = \frac{x+5}{-3+7} ← equate to 2, that is

\frac{x+5}{4} = 2 ( multiply both sides by 4

x + 5 = 8 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

x = 3

Let line A be the graph of 5x + 8y = -9. Line B is perpendicular to line A and passes through the point (10,10). If line B is th
frozen [14]
Find slope of line A:
Move into slope-intercept form y = mx+b

<span>5x + 8y = -9
8y = -5x - 9
y = (-5/8)x - 9/8

The slope of line A is -5/8.

If </span><span>Line B is perpendicular to line A, then

slope Line B = negative reciprocal of slope Line A</span>
<span>slope Line B = 8/5

So like B has the equation

y = (8/5)x + b

If it passes through (10,10), we know that when x = 10, y = 10. Use those values to solve for b:
</span>
<span>y = (8/5)x + b
10 = (8/5)·10 + b</span>
<span>10 = (8)·2 + b
10 = 16 + b
b = -6

So line B has equation </span>
<span>y = (8/5)x - 6

m = 8/5 and b = -6

so

m + b = 8/5 - 6 = 8/5 - 30/5 = -22/5

So m+b = -22/5 or -4.4 in decimal form

How do you do this and what ya the correct answer? Simple and concise explanation please!
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

You are right as rain. You go to the x axis.

Find x = 3.5

f(3.5) is the y value of x = 3.5

f(3.5) = 2

It might help you a bit if you wrote it as a point (3.5,2)
