When a line is parallel to another line, that means both lines have the same slope.
Since the standard form equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is our slope and b is our y-intercept, we know that the new equation will also have m=4.
They give us the y-intercept, b=1
So oue new equation is as follows...
y = 4x + 1
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(x - 4)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) y = 1/2x + 5/2
y = 2/5x + 29/5
b) hair will be 19 inches for both at 33 months
Step-by-step explanation:
a) rate of growth of friend's hair: (3, 4) (8, 6.5)
(6.5 - 4) ÷ (8 - 3) = 2.5/5 or 1/2
find the y-intercept of equation for growth of friend's hair:
y = mx + b
4 = 1/2(3) + b
4 = 3/2 + b
8/2 - 3/2 = b
5/2 = b
equation for growth of friend's hair:
y = 1/2x + 5/2
rate of growth of cousin's hair: (3, 7) (8, 9)
(9 - 7) ÷ (8 - 3) = 2/5
find the y-intercept of equation for growth of cousin's hair:
y = mx + b
9 = 2/5(8) + b
9 = 16/5 + b
45/5 - 16/5 = b
29/5 = b
equation for growth of cousin's hair:
y = 2/5x + 29/5
b) y = 1/2x + 5/2
y = 2/5x + 29/5
1/2x + 5/2 = 2/5x + 29/5
5/10x + 25/10 = 4/10x + 58/10
1/10x = 33/10
10x = 3300
x = 33
