Answer:
y = 1/4x -8
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the slope of the line
x-4y =3
Subtract x from each side
x-4y -x = -x+3
-4y = -x+3
Divide each side by -4
-4y/-4 = -x/-4 +3/-4
y = 1/4 x -3/4
This is in the form y= mx+b where the slope is m and the y intercept is b
The slope is 1/4
We want the same slope
y = 1/4x +b
we know the y intercept is -8
y = 1/4x -8
I think the second one does
Answer:
casey's age is 7
Step-by-step explanation:
if his sister is 3 times as old as he is then she is older therefore you would devide.
21/3=7
Let x represent the length of the shortest side. Then the longest side is
... 2x -7 . . . . . . 7 ft shorter than twice the shortest side
and the 3rd side is
... x +2 . . . . . . 2 ft longer than the shortest side.
The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths,
... x + (2x -7) + (x +2) = 59 . . . . . the given perimeter length
... 4x -5 = 59 . . . . collect terms
... 4x = 64 . . . . . . add 5
... x = 16 . . . . . . . . divide by 4
Then the other sides are
... 2×16 - 7 = 25 . . . . . longest side
... 16 +2 = 18 . . . . . . . . third side
The side lengths are 16 ft, 18 ft, and 25 ft.
