we know that
if two lines are parallel
then
their slopes are equal
Step 1
Find the slope of the line 2x + 5y = 4
2x + 5y = 4------> 5y=4-2x-----> y=(4/5)-(2/5)x------> slope m=(-2/5)
step 2
with m=-2/5 and the point (5, –4) find the equation of the line
y-y1=m*(x-x1)------> y+4=(-2/5)*(x-5)----> y=(-2/5)x+2-4
y=(-2/5)x-2
therefore
the answer is the option D
I believe the answer is 0.9 because a significant figure is a similar difference
Answer:
Part A: The y-coordinate when x=0 is 6. So, the y-intercept is 6
Part B: The equation for a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. For plant A, the slope is 1 and the y-intercept is 6. So, the equation for the line is y = x + 6.
Part C:The y-coordinate when x=0 is 4. So, the y-intercept is 4.
Part D:The equation for a line is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. For plant B, the slope is 3/2 and the y-intercept is 4. So, the equation for the line is y= 3/2x+4.
Part E:The solution for the system of equations is (4,10). This solution is the same as the answer found graphically.
