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>

What is the value of x?
Vladimir [108]
We know that

angle F=180°-(40+87)°=53°
applying the law of sines
EF/sin G=EG/sin F
EF=x
EG=13 cm
G=87°
F=53°
so

x/sin 87°=13/sin 53°---------> x=sin 87*(13/sin 53°)-------> x=16.3 cm

The answer is
x=16.3 cm

The graph relates the distance traveled by Train A, in miles, and the time taken, in hours. The table shows the distance travele
melomori [17]

Answer:A)

Yes, the relationship is proportional.

B)

66,000 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

Yes, the graph represents a proportional relationship.

Since, A proportional relationship is one in which two quantities vary directly with each other. We say the variable y varies directly as x if:  

y=kx

for some constant k , called the constant of proportionality .

As y=12000x hence the relationship is proportional.

B)

We calculate the equation of the graph with the help of two points on the graph namely (2,24000) and (4,48000) with the help of slope-intercept form of the line.

y=mx+c where m denotes the slope of the line and c denotes the y-intercept of the line.

Here when x=2 y=24000 and when x=4 y=48000

Hence, 24000=2x+c

and 48000=4x+c

on subtracting the above two equations we have:

m=12000 and c=0

Hence, the equation of line is y=12000x

Now the value at x=5.5 is:

y=12000×5.5=66,000

Hence, the number of miles the probe travels in 5.5. hours is 66,000 miles.

Can someone help please?

X=-4             you have to substitue first so you put the equation where the X is and then you would distribute and then add the numbers that have the common exponent
