Answer:

<u>-5</u><u>/</u><u>8x</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find the slope of the given line.

Do this by converting it to slope intercept form (y=mx+b)

Divide the whole equation by 8 to isolate the y variable.

After dividing by 8 you should now have 5/8x + y = 6.25

Now you need to subtract y and 6.25 to isolate y

5/8x - 6.25 = -y

Now you have to divide the whole equation by negative 1 to make y positive. You end up with: y =<u> -5/8 </u>+ 6.25

<u>We</u><u> </u><u>know</u><u> </u><u>that</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>slopes</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>parallel</u><u> </u><u>lines</u><u> </u><u>are</u><u> </u><u>equal</u><u>.</u><u> </u><u>Therefore</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>answer</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>-5</u><u>/</u><u>8x</u>

Answer:

-5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert standard form to slope-intercept form to find the slope.

5x + 8y = 50

8y = -5x + 50

y = -5/8x + 50/8

Slope: -5/8

2 Find the vertex of the function and identify it as a maximum or a minimum
DIA [1.3K]

(-2, 5) Minimum

Step-by-step explanation:

y-5=(1/3)(x + 2)²

y-5=(1/3)(x²+4x+4))

y-5=1/3x²+4/3x+4/3

y=1/3x²+4/3x+4/3+5

y=1/3x²+4/3x+4/3+15/3

y=1/3x²+4/3x+19/3

graph is attached

x= -b/2a

x= (-4/3)/2(1/3)

x= (-4/3)/(2/3)

x= (-4/3)*(3/2)

3's cancel

x= (-4/1)*(1/2)

x = -4/2

x = -2

plug -2 back into

y=1/3x²+4/3x+19/3

y=1/3*4+4/3*-2+19/3

y=4/3-8/3+19/3

y=15/3

y=5

(-2,5)

if a is positive

graph looks like a smile

so minimum

if a is negative

graph looks like a frown

so maximum

UkoKoshka [18]
Total miles= rate x time

We can set up 2 eq:
24=(x+8)(y-4)
24=xy

Where x is equal to my original rate
and y is equal to the original time spent traveling the 2mi

We can now solve for one of the variables and find our rate
