We have been given that a line y=mx+b passes through the point (10, 3) and is parallel to the line 2x+5y=12. We are asked to find the y-intercept of the line.

First of all we will rewrite our given equation in slope-intercept form as:

2x-2x+5y=12-2x

5y=-2x+12

\frac{5y}{5}=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{12}{5}

y=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{12}{5}

We know that slope of parallel lines is equal, so slope of parallel line to our given line would be -\frac{2}{5}.

Now we will use slope-intercept form of equation to find y-intercept.

y=mx+b, where,

m = Slope,

b = The y-intercept.

Let us substitute m=-\frac{2}{5} and coordinates of point (10,3) in above equation as:

3=-\frac{2}{5}(10)+b

3=-2(2)+b

3=-4+b

3+4=-4+4+b

7=b

Therefore, the y-intercept is 7 and our required equation would be y=-\frac{2}{5}x+7.

Four brothers and their sister have the average age 7. Four brothers have the average age 6. How old is the sister?
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

11 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

If four brothers have the average age 6, then the sum of their ages is

4\cdot 6=24

years.

Let x years be the age of sister. If four brothers and their sister have the average age 7, then

\dfrac{24+x}{5}=7.

Multiply this equation by 5:

24+x=35\Rightarrow x=35-24=11.

The sister is 11 years old.

Given the following inverse variation find the missing value: (5,-8) (20, y) find the missing value
forsale [732]
This answer is pretty simple. you see (5,-8) and (20,y). well the 20 is 4 times the 5 on the x value so multiply the y value by 4 to get your answer which Y=-32 in the 2nd corrdenants.

Which equation will help you solve this problem?
Anna35 [415]
Think about it, 64 band members split equally into 8 rows. Sounds like division, right? If we're going to split them into each row, that would be eight members for each of the eight rows. 

So the answer is that 8 members was in each row.

4 2/5 x 10 = 4x 10 + 2/5 * 10
40 + 4 = 44

26 x 2 1/2 = 26 x 2 + 26 * 1/2
52 + 13 = 65
