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>

12 grapes cost 90 $how many can bought in 40$
likoan [24]

Let x = the amount of grapes that can be bought for 0.40.


Note: By 90 I assume you mean 90 cents. The same for 40.


12/x = 0.90/0.40


0.90x = 12(0.40)


0.90x = 4.80


x = 4.80 ÷ 0.90


x = 5.33333


We can round the decimal to the ones place to get 5 grapes.

9<br> 60°<br> A) x = 18, y=9V6<br> B) x=9V3, y=9V3<br> C) x = 18, y=9V3<br> D) x =9V3, y=9V6
lesantik [10]

Answer:

C. x = 18, y = 9\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 30-60-90 triangle,

longer leg = \sqrt{3} (shorter leg)

hypontenuse = 2(shorter leg)

In your case, the shorter leg = 9

therefore, y = 9\sqrt{3}    and x = 2(9) = 18
