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
The answer is x = 6
hope this helps
Subtract 18 from 72 to get Michelle's current age.
72 - 18 = 54
Let Brian's steps have a measure of 1, and Richard's steps have a measure of k. Then after each walks 5 steps away from the other, their distance apart is
... 5 + 5k
We are told that distance is equal to 9 of Richard's steps, so is equal to 9k.
... 5 + 5k = 9k
... 5 = 4k . . . . . . . subtract 5k
... 5/4 = k . . . . . . divide by 4
Richard's steps are 5/4 the size of Brian's steps. The appropriate selection is
... b) 5/4
