we know that
if two lines are parallel
then
their slopes are equal
Step 1
Find the slope of the line 2x + 5y = 4
2x + 5y = 4------> 5y=4-2x-----> y=(4/5)-(2/5)x------> slope m=(-2/5)
step 2
with m=-2/5 and the point (5, –4) find the equation of the line
y-y1=m*(x-x1)------> y+4=(-2/5)*(x-5)----> y=(-2/5)x+2-4
y=(-2/5)x-2
therefore
the answer is the option D
They are 1 and 3!
Hope this helped! :)
Yes, the 36" shelf can hold all 24 books. As 5/4=1.25" meaning, you take 1.25X24=30". So 24 books only take up 30 inches of a 36 inch shelf.
