Answer:

The equation of the Parallel line passes through the point (-1,4) is

y = -5 x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Given the equation of the line y = -5 x + 2

Given point (-1 , 4 )

The equation of the parallel line of a given line is 5x + y +k=0 ...(i)

The equation (i) passes through the point (-1,4)

5(-1)+4+k=0

-5 +4 +k =0

-1 + k = 0

k = 1

The equation of the Parallel line passes through the point (-1,4) is

y = -5 x -1

Which is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-6,-8) and (4,-4)

natita [175]

Answer:

y= $\frac{2}{5}$ x-6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{(-8)-(-4)}{(-6)-4} \\$ = $\frac{-4}{-10}$ = $\frac{2}{5\\}$

y=mx+b

-8 = ( $\frac{2}{5}$ ) (-6) +b

-8 = - $\frac{12}{8}$ +b

b= -6.5

Multiply the sum of 7/8 and 3/4 by the differences of 5/36 from 11/13

Anni [7]

Answer:

$=-\frac{331}{288}=-1.14930\dots$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(\frac{7}{8} + \frac{3}{4} )\times (\frac{5}{36} - \frac{11}{13} )\\\\\mathrm{Join}\:\frac{7}{8}+\frac{3}{4}:\quad \frac{13}{8}\\\\=\frac{13}{8}\left(\frac{5}{36}-\frac{11}{13}\right)\\\\\mathrm{Join}\:\frac{5}{36}-\frac{11}{13}:\quad -\frac{331}{468}\\\\=\frac{13}{8}\left(-\frac{331}{468}\right)\\\\=-\frac{13}{8}\times\frac{331}{468}\\\\\mathrm{Cross-cancel\:common\:factor:}\:13\\=\frac{1}{8}\times\frac{331}{36}\\\\=-\frac{1\cdot \:331}{8\times\:36}\\\\=-\frac{331}{288}$

You cut a 54-inch rope into four pieces. Twoof the pieces are the same length, a thirdpiece is twice as long as each of the twoe

antiseptic1488 [7]

Let's use the variable x to represent the length of the first and second pieces.

If the third piece has twice the length of the first and second, its length is 2x.

If the fourth piece has half the length of the first and second, its length is 0.5*x.

Adding all four pieces and equating to 54 inches, we have:

$\begin{gathered} x+x+2x+0.5x=54 \\ 4.5x=54 \\ x=\frac{54}{4.5} \\ x=12 \end{gathered}$

So the length of each piece is:

12 inches, 12 inches, 24 inches and 6 inches.
