Answer:

y=-5/4x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're given the line 5x+4y=24 and we want to find the line parallel to it that passes through (8,-5)

Parallel lines have the same slopes

First, we need to find the slope of 5x+4y=24.

We'll do that by converting 5x+4y=24 from standard form (ax+by=c where a, b, and c are integers) to slope-intercept form (y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept)

subtract 5x from both sides

4y=-5x+24

divide by 4 on both sides

y=-5/4x+6

since -5/4 is in the place where m should be, it is the slope.

So the equation of the line parallel to it will also have -5/4 as the slope

Here's the equation so far in slope-intercept form:

y=-5/4x+b

we need to find b

because the equation will pass through (8,-5), we can use it to solve for b

substitute 8 as x and -5 as y

-5=-5/4(8)+b

multiply

-5=-10+b

add 10 to both sides

5=b

substitute 5 as b into the equation

That's the equation of the line parallel to 5x+4y=24.

Hope this helps!

Using substitution:
first you have to express one variable in terms of the other, in this we can express y in terms of x:
$y = \frac{ - \frac{1}{2} x + 2}{3} \\ y = - x + 9$

Since both expressions are equal to y, you have to equal both expressions like this:
$\frac{ - \frac{ 1}{2}x + 2 }{3} = - x + 9$
Now you can solve the equation:
$- \frac{1}{2} x + 2 = 3( - x + 9) \\ - \frac{ 1}{2}x + 2 = - 3x + 27 \\ \\ - \frac{1}{2} x + 3x = 27 - 2 \\ \frac{5}{2} x = 25 \\ x = \frac{(25)(2)}{5} \\ x = 10$
Knowing x=10, you can use any of the expressions we found before to find y. In this case I'm going to use y= -x+9 because it's simpler but boy should give you the same result

$y = - (10) + 9 \\ y = - 1$
So, the answer is x=10 and y=-1

Stels [109]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we are expected to solve for the percentage change, given the opening point and the closing point

given that the low is 4014

and the high is 9012

the formula to calculate the percentage change is given as

%change= (high-low)/low*100

substituting our given data we have

%change= (9012-4014)/4014*100

%change= (4998)/4014*100

%change= (1.2451)*100

%change= 124.51%

The total change in the stock market from the beginning of the day to the end of the day is 124.51%
