Answer:

y = 8x + 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a parallel line is the same as the slope in the equation given. Use that slope (8) and the point given (-2, 8) and plug into y = mx + b to find b

8 = -2 (8) + b

8 = -16 + b

24 = b

Write the new equation with the m and b

y = 8x + 24

Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = 8x + 26

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation, we first need to note that they will have the same slope due to the definition of parallel lines. Knowing that, we can use the slope and point to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 8 = 8(x + 2)

y - 8 = 8x + 18

y = 8x + 26

Malcom is filling bags with rice . He starts with a 5 1/4 pound container of rice and fills each bag with 5/8 pounds of rice . H

Answer:

Malcolm would fill 8 bags of rice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The size of the container of rice = 5 $\frac{1}{4}$ pounds = $\frac{21}{4}$ pounds.

Each bag of rice has a capacity of $\frac{5}{8}$ pounds.

The number of bags of rice that Malcolm fills = $\frac{total quantity of rice}{capacity of each bag}$

= $\frac{21}{4}$ ÷ $\frac{5}{8}$

= $\frac{21}{4}$ x $\frac{8}{5}$

= $\frac{42}{5}$

= 8 $\frac{2}{5}$

Therefore, Malcolm would be able to fill 8 bags of rice.

Mashcka [7]

$1.10 per pound for the 1-pound bag.
$0.96 per pound for the 2-pound bag.
$0.92 per pound for the 3-pound bag.

As the quantity of sugar increases, the unit cost decreases.
