Find a common denominator between the 2 fractions, the common denominator would be 40. So you will Multiple 3/8 by 5/5 giving you 15/40, then you will multiply 1/5 by 8/8 giving you 8/40. Now you can can just add them together which is 23/40. *this answer cannot be simplified*
40 is the answer
5 x8 =40
x = -5 is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line x = –2 and passes through the point (–5, 4)
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, we have to write the equation of line that is parallel to line x = -2 and passes through point (-5, 4)
From given,
The equation of the line in standard form is x = -2
<em><u>This is a vertical line, so the parallel line will also be a vertical line of the form:</u></em>
x = a
Since we are given that the line should pass through the point (-5, 4) then the equation of the line is:
x = -5
Thus the equation of line is found
