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!

Answer:

130 total people

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the ratio of woman to men is 8 to 5, and there are 50 men, so you do 50 divided by 5 to get you 10, then multiply 10 by 8 which gets you 80 women, 50+80=130. :)

For a given function ƒ(x) = x2 – x + 1, the operation –ƒ(x) = –(x2 – x + 1) will result in a
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Given:

The function is:

f(x)=x^2-x+1

To find:

The result of the operation -f(x)=-(x^2-x+1).

Solution:

If g(x)=-f(x), then the graph of f(x) is reflected across the x-axis to get the graph of g(x).

We have,

f(x)=x^2-x+1

The given operation is:

-f(x)=-(x^2-x+1)

So, it will result in a reflection across the x-axis.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
