What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-5,2) and is parallel

Mathematics
1 answer:
LekaFEV [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first change the equation so it just equals y

-5y = 5 -4x

y = 4/5x -1

since this new equation has to be parallel to the previous line, the slopes are the same

y = 4/5x + b

now we have to make sure the new equation passes through (-5,2) so we plug in -5 for x and 2 for y

2 = 4/5(-5) + b

2 = -4 + b

b = 6

so the final equation is

y = 4/5x +6

The student council at Livingston High School is making T-shirts to sell for a fundraiser, at a price of $16 apiece. The costs,
Allushta [10]

Answer:

5 shirts must be sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, set up the equation. Each shirt (x) is sold for $16:

For every amount (y) for x: (y)(x) = (16)(y)

The cost is $4, with the setup fee as $60.

(16)(y) = (4)(y) + 60

16y = 4y + 60

Isolate the variable (y). Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. First, subtract 4y from both sides.

16y (-4y) = 4y (-4y) + 60

16y - 4y = 60

12y = 60

Next, isolate the variable (y). Divide 12 from both sides.

(12y)/12 = (60)/12

y = 60/12

y = 5

5 shirts must be sold.

To check, plug in 5 for y in the equation:

16y = 4y + 60

16(5) = 4(5) + 60

Simplify.

16(5) = 4(5) + 60

80 = 4(5) + 60

80 = 20 + 60

80 = 80 (True).

The front of Rosie's house is similar in shape to the front of Sparky's doghouse. The base of the doghouse is 6 feet and the hei
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

33feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If the base of the doghouse is 6 feet and the height is 5 feet, we can write;

6 feet base = 5 feet height

To get the length of the base if the height is 27.5feet

x feet base = 27.5 feet high

Divide both expressions

6/x = 5/27.5

5x = 6 * 27.5

5x = 165

x = 165/5

x = 33ft

Hence the length of its base will be 33feet
