What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (8,-5) and is parallel

Mathematics

HACTEHA [7]3 years ago

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

<u>y=-5/4x+5</u>

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

Hope this helps!

There's some unknown (but derivable) system of equations being modeled by the two lines in the given graph. (But we don't care what equations make up these lines.)

There's no solution to this particular system because the two lines are parallel.

How do we know they're parallel? Parallel lines have the same slope, and we can easily calculate the slope of these lines.

The line on the left passes through the points (-1, 0) and (0, -2), so it has slope

(-2 - 0)/(0 - (-1)) = -2/1 = -2

The line on the right passes through (0, 2) and (1, 0), so its slope is

(0 - 2)/(1 - 0) = -2/1 = -2

The slopes are equal, so the lines are parallel.

Why does this mean there is no solution? Graphically, a solution to the system is represented by an intersection of the lines. Parallel lines never intersect, so there is no solution.

Solve each system of equations by writing a new system that eliminates one of the variables.
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

x=33\\y=-41

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

2x+y=25\hspace{5}(1)\\and\\4x+3y=9\hspace{5}(2)

We need to eliminate one of the variables, so let's use elimination method. First multiply (1) by 2

2*(1)\equiv\hspace{5}4x+2y=50

Now subtract (2) from 2*(1) in order to eliminate x:

2*(1)-(2)\\4x-4x+2y-3y=50-9\\-y=41

Solving for y:

Multiplying both sides by -1  

y=-41

Finally, replacing the value of y in (1)

2x-41=25

Solving for x:

add 41 to both sides:

2x=66

Multiply both sides by 1/2:

x=\frac{66}{2} =33
