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.

Is the equation y + 1 equals 7 (x + 2) in point slope form​
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

y= 7x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

first the outside number which is 7 and time it by x then that will give you 7x

next times 7 with 2 and that will give you 14

then subtract 14 from 1 then it will give you 13

therefore your answer is y=7x+13

Order these from least to greatest: 0.3 19/50 and 22%
MAXImum [283]
Convert everything into decimals.

19/50 = 0.38

22/100 = 0.22

0.22, 0.3, 0.38

^ least to greatest.

You can check this by converting to percentages or fractions.
