We know, opposite sides are parallelogram is parallel, therefore slopes are equal.

Slope of line one :

m=\dfrac{-7-(-6)}{3-1}\\\\m =\dfrac{-1}{2}\\\\m= -0.5

So, equation of other line passing through (-4,5) and have slope of -0.5 is :

y-5 = -0.5( x-(-4))

y-5 = -0.5x - 2

y  + 1/2x = 3

2y + x = 6

Therefore, equation of line containing the (-4, 5) is 2y + x = 6.

Hence, this is the required solution.

In a theater, there are 4 long rows of chairs,each with an equal number of chairs There are 5 ahort rows of chairs,each with an
Hoochie [10]
<span>There are 4 long rows and 5 short rows in the theater. x represents the number of chairs in each long row and y represents the number of chairs in each short row.

So, total number of chairs in 4 long rows= 4x
Total number of chairs in 5 short rows = 5y
Total number of chairs in the theater on a normal day = 4x + 5y

When 2 chairs are added to each long row, the number of chairs will change to (x+2).
So, total number of chairs in 4 long rows will be = 4(x+2)

When 3 chairs are added to each short row, the number of chairs will change to (y+3)
So, total number of chairs in 5 short rows will be = 5(y+3)

Thus, total number of chairs in the theater in rush day = 4(x+2) + 5(y+3)
= 4x + 8 + 5y + 15
= 4x + 5y + 23

Thus we can say the number of chairs increase by 23 as compared to a normal day.
