Ugh I hate these... Inverse property of multiplication.
Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y=-5/4x + 7
Any line parallel to the given line will have the same slope. In an equation presented in the y-intercept form, the slope is always the coefficient of "x". In this case, the slope is -5/4 (meaning the next point is down 5, and 4 to the right).
Our equation so far looks like this: y = -5/4x + b
"b" represents the y-intercept. To solve for be, we will need to substitute values into x and y. The next piece of information it gives us is one of the points, or solutions, of the line. This means that since this point is on the line, we can use its x and y values to substitute.
x = -4
y= 1
y = -5/4x + b
1 = -5/4(-4) + b
1 = 5 + b
-4 = b
Final Answer: y = -(5/4)x -4

Step-by-step explanation:
Using proportions, it is found that his tax rate is of 28.84%.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct(when both increase or both decrease) or inverse proportional(when one increases and the other decreases, or vice versa), can be built to find the desired measures in the problem, or equations to find these measures.
His tax rate is the proportion that the <u>deductions are of the total salary</u>, hence:
12,200/42,300 = 0.2884 = 28.84%.
Hence his tax rate is of 28.84%.

Answer:
area: 72 perimeter: 36
Step-by-step explanation:
area of big rectangle, 10x6=60
height of triangle:4 multiplied by 3 (6/2=3) =12 12+60=72
length of sides added together: 10+10+6+5+5=36
