Answer:

Equation: y = 8x + 56

After 5 minutes, the volume of the water was 96 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Use y = mx + b to create the linear equation, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Since the water flows in at 8 gallons per minute, 8 will be the slope. The variable x will represent the number of minutes.

There are already 56 gallons of water in the tank, so b will be 56.

Plug in these values into the equation:

y = 8x + 56

So, the linear equation is y = 8x + 56

Using this, plug in 5 as x to find the volume of the water in the sink after 5 minutes:

y = 8x + 56

y = 8(5) + 56

y = 40 + 56

y = 96

So, after 5 minutes, the volume of the water was 96 gallons

An equation parallel and perpendicular to 4x+5y=19
mestny [16]

Answer:

An equation parallel to 4x + 5y = 19 would be y = -4/5x +12.

An equation perpendicular to 4x + 5y = 19 would be y = 5/4x + 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given represents a linear equation in Standard Form (Ax + By = C).  Lines that are parallel to each other go the same direction and don't touch, so their slopes must be the same.  However, lines that are perpendicular go in opposite directions and intersect, so their slopes must be the direct opposite of each other.  In order to find the slope, you must first convert from the Standard Form given to Slope Intercept Form (y = mx +b).  When you solve the given equation for 'y', you get: y = -4/5x + 19, where the slope = -4/5.  To make a parallel equation, simply keep the same slope and choose a different y-intercept ('b').  To make a perpendicular equation, take the direct opposide of your slope 5/4 (positive) and choose a different y-intercept.
