what is an equation of the line that passes through the point (5,1) and is parallel to the line x+y=9

Y=9-x is slope-intercept form of that line, which means it has a slope of -1. Parallel lines have the same slope, so the slope of this new line will also be -1.

To find the line that goes through (5,1), we can use a blank equation y=mx+b. We know that m=-1, so we can use the given point to find b:

y=mx+b
Y=-x+b
1=-5+b
6=b

So the line would be y=-x+6.

Hello! I will do my best to help you understand and receive the answers.

Let's begin with our first question..

15.) Dao has 2 3/8 pounds of hamburger meat. He is making 1/4 pound burgers. How many burgers can he make?

For this problem we will have to use division. Our equation (use a calculator if needed) is 2 3/8 divided by 1/4 which equals 3.

Your final answer should be : Dao can make 3 hamburgers total.

I would answer the next question, but I believe from this information above you can try and figure it out. If you are still stuck, message me and i can help you from there.

Answer:

89,709

Step-by-step explanation:

∡Z= 54°

tan 54 = XY / 361

XY = 361 · tan 54°

XY = 497
