Problem
Write the slope-intercept form of the line described in the following:
Parallel to 4x + 5y=20
and passing through (12,4)
Solution>
For this case we need to have the same slope, and if we write the equation given we see:
5y = 20 -4x
y = 4 -4/5 x
then the slope m = -4/5
and we also know a point given x= 12, y= 4 and we can do the following:
4 = -4/5 (12) +b
4 = -48/5 + b
And if we solve for the intercept we got:
b= 4 +48/5= -28/5
And our equation would be given by:
y = -4/5 x -28/5
Please elaborate more on your question so I can help you
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope = y2- y1/ x2- x1
= 4 - (-2) / 3 -1
= 4+2/ 2
=6/2 = 3
$21.60 - $18.00 = $3.60
$3.60 : $18.00 = 0.2
0.2 · 100% = 20%
