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

1 answer:

7 0

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.

Mr. Sawyer drove his car from his home to New York at the rate of 45 mph and returned over the same road at the rate of 40 mph.

AveGali [126]

Answer: Time taken by him in going = 8 hours

Time taken by him in returning = 9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total distance from home to New York is x miles,

$\text{ Since, Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

Also, he drove his car from his home to New York at the rate of 45 mph,

⇒ $\text{ Time taken by him in going } = \frac{x}{45}\text{ hours}$

And, returned over the same road at the rate of 40 mph.

⇒ $\text{ Time taken by him in returning } = \frac{x}{40}\text{ hours}$

According to the question,

Time taken by him in returning - Time taken by him in going = 30 minutes = 1/2 hours, ( 1 hours = 60 minutes )

⇒ $\frac{x}{40}-\frac{x}{45}=\frac{1}{2}$

⇒ $\frac{9x}{360}-\frac{8x}{360}=\frac{1}{2}$

⇒ $\frac{x}{360} = \farc{1}{2}$

⇒ $2x=720$

⇒ $x=360\text{ miles}$

Hence, the total distance from home to New York = x miles = 360 miles

⇒ $\text{ Time taken by him in going } = \frac{x}{45}\text{ hours}$

$=\frac{360}{45}=8\text{ hours}$

⇒ $\text{ Time taken by him in returning } = \frac{x}{40}\text{ hours}$

$=\frac{360}{40}=9\text{ hours}$

If the perimeter of the triangle is 32 cm what is the length of each two sides? Write and solve equation

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

12 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two congruent sides which are legs(2 sides having same length )If x is length of each leg, then we ca write the equation like this

equation: x+x+8=32

combine like terms

2x +8 = 32

minus 8 from each side

2x=32-8

2x=24

divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 24/2

x=12 centimeters

You may remember that the perimeter of a rectangle is P=2(W+L) where W is the width and L is the length.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Step-by-step explanation:

So, x=width and the width=13+L. The formula for perimeter is 2(L)+2(W) and the total perimeter in this question is 62 feet. That means 2(L)+2(13+L)=62 feet. Solve for L and that's going to be your length. Add the length plus 13 and you'll have the width. Double check the equation by plugging the width and length back into the equation. (Does that help?)
