Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y=-5/4x + 7
Any line parallel to the given line will have the same slope. In an equation presented in the y-intercept form, the slope is always the coefficient of "x". In this case, the slope is -5/4 (meaning the next point is down 5, and 4 to the right).
Our equation so far looks like this: y = -5/4x + b
"b" represents the y-intercept. To solve for be, we will need to substitute values into x and y. The next piece of information it gives us is one of the points, or solutions, of the line. This means that since this point is on the line, we can use its x and y values to substitute.
x = -4
y= 1
y = -5/4x + b
1 = -5/4(-4) + b
1 = 5 + b
-4 = b
Final Answer: y = -(5/4)x -4
So whats the answer. please help me I got a test of this
Per round there are a certain amount of teams which cuts the amount of games in half. For Example, in the first round there are 64 teams which cuts the amount of games in half to 32 games. This will keep occurring until there are only 2 teams left with one game (This declares the winner).
First round:
64 teams
32 games
Second round:
32 teams
16 games
Third round:
16 teams
8 games
Fourth Round:
8 teams
4 games
Fifth Round:
4 teams
2 games
Sixth Round:
2 teams
1 game
___________
Thus, a winner will be determined in the sixth round of the tournament.
___________
Best of Luck!
