Answer:

y = 4/5x + 6 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, rearrange the equation to put it in the form y = mx + b. Once you put it in that form, m will be the slope and b will be the y-intercept (for example, if the equation is y = 3x - 1 then 3 is the slope and -1 is the y-intercept)

4x - 5y = 20

subtract 4x from both sides

-5y = -4x + 20

divide both sides by -5

y = 4/5 * x - 4

This means the slope of this line is 4/5

Parallel lines always have the same slope, so again you can put your new equation in the form y = mx + b and you have that the slope, or m, = 4/5 so this would be:

y = 4/5x + b

Now, you know that (-4, 3) is a solution so if you plug in x = -4 and y =3 the equation should be true:

3 = 4/5 * -4 + b

3 = -16/5 + b

6 1/5 or 6.2 = b

So the equation is y = 4/5x + 6 1/5 or y = 0.8x + 6.2

Answer:

y = 4/5x + 31/5

Step-by-step explanation:

parallel lines have the same gradient(m)

and the straight like equation is y=mx +c

so to find m , make y the subject.

m will equal to 4/5.

The x and y values are given substitute them and the value to y=mx + c , to find c.

After you have c, place the value of m and c in their places and you'll get: y=4/5x + 31/5

Find the slop for the given graph and y-intercept <br><br> I got a pic to lol
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
The slope is rise/run
3 up and 3 to the left: 3/3 = 1
The slope is 1

Assuming graph is 1 units per box and y intercept is (0,y), looking at the graph you can see it’s (0,-1)
The y intercept is (0,-1)

The force F of attraction between two bodies varies jointly as the weights of the two bodies and inversely as the square of the
crimeas [40]
We have that F is proportional to m1. Hence, we have that F=m1*c when we change the first mass. We also have that F=m2*c when we only change the 2nd mass. Since F scales inversely with the square of the distance, we have that F= \frac{c}{d^2}. Combining all of the facts above, we get that F=c*\frac{m_1 m_2}{d^2} where c is a constant.

Do the phrases 6 less a number y and 6 less than a number y mean the same thing? Explain. A. No, they do not both mean the same
Yuri [45]

Answer:

B. Yes, they both mean the same thing. They can also both be represented by the expression y - 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Phrase 1: 6 less a number y

Phrase 2: 6 less than a number y

<em>Mathematically,</em>

Phrase 1 can be represented as follows;

y - 6

<em>Mathematically,</em>

Phrase 2 can be represented as follows;

y - 6

<em>Since the representation  of both phrases are the same, then option B answers the question.</em>
