Fiona wrote the linear equation y = 2/5 x – 5. When Henry wrote his equation, they discovered that his equation had all the same

Hoochie [10]

we have

$y=\frac{2}{5}x-5$

Let's Isolate the variable y in each of the cases and then compare with Fiona's equation to determine the solution of the problem

case A) $x-\frac{5}{4}y= \frac{25}{4}$

Multiply by $4$ both sides

$4x-5y= 25$

$5y=4x-25$

Divide by $5$ both sides

$y=\frac{4}{5}x-5$

therefore

the case A) is not equal to Fiona's equation

case B) $x-\frac{5}{2}y= \frac{25}{4}$

Multiply by $4$ both sides

$4x-10y= 25$

$10y=4x-25$

Divide by $10$ both sides

$y=\frac{2}{5}x-2.5$

therefore

the case B) is not equal to Fiona's equation

case C) $x-\frac{5}{4}y= \frac{25}{2}$

Multiply by $4$ both sides

$4x-5y= 50$

$5y=4x-50$

Divide by $5$ both sides

$y=\frac{4}{5}x-10$

therefore

the case C) is not equal to Fiona's equation

case D) $x-\frac{5}{2}y= \frac{25}{2}$

Multiply by $2$ both sides

$2x-5y= 25$

$5y=2x-25$

Divide by $5$ both sides

$y=\frac{2}{5}x-5$

therefore

the case D) is equal to Fiona's equation

<u>the answer is</u>

$x-\frac{5}{2}y= \frac{25}{2}$
