Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf y=\frac {1}{4}x-2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given a point and a slope, we can use the point-slope formula.

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

where m is the slope and (x₁ , y₁) is the point the line passes through.

We know the point is (4, -1).

We have to find the slope. We know that the line is parallel to y=1/4x.

This line has a slope of 1/4 (1/4 is the coefficient of x), and parallel lines have the same slope. Therefore, the line we are finding also has a slope of 1/4.

So, we know that:

  • m=1/4
  • x₁= 4
  • y₁= -1

Substitute these values into the formula.

y--1=\frac{1}{4}(x-4)

Now we must put the equation into slope-intercept form, or y=mx+b. We have to isolate y on one side of the equation.

First, distribute the 1/4. Multiply each term inside the parentheses by 1/4.

y--1=(\frac {1}{4}*x )+(\frac{1}{4} * -4)\\y+1= \frac {1}{4}x-1

1 is being added to y. The inverse of addition is subtraction, so subtract 1 from both sides of the equation. This will leave the variable y by itself.

y+1-1= \frac {1}{4}x-1-1

y=\frac {1}{4}x-1-1\\y=\frac {1}{4}x-2

The equation of the line is <u>y=1/4x-2</u>

A triangle has the following side lengths: x - 2, x, and 3x + 1. Another triangle has the following side lengths: 2x - 5, x + 4,
notka56 [123]

we know that

Perimeter of a triangle is equal to

P=a+b+c

where

a,b and c are the length sides of the triangle

<u>Find the perimeter of the triangles</u>

<u>Triangle N 1</u>

P=(x-2)+(x)+(3x+1)-------> P=5x-1

<u>Triangle N 2</u>

P=(2x-5)+(x+4)+(6x-7)------> P=9x-8

equate the perimeters

5x-1=9x-8--------> 9x-5x=-1+8-------> 4x=7

x=7/4------> x=1.75

therefore

the answer is

x=1.75
