Answer:

y = -1/2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First we wanna convert x + 2y = 14 into a slope-intercept equation.

x + 2y = 14

2y = 14 - x

y = 7 - x/2 or y = -1/2x + 7

Now that we have the line in slope-intercept form, we can solve for a line that is parallel to.

But first, what do parallel lines have in common? Parallel lines never intersect first of all and second they have the same slope so meaning we’re going to use -1/2 in order to find the equation of a parallel line so…

y = -1/2x + b

use the given point in the question

0 = -1/2(-8) + b

0 = 4 + b

b = 0 - 4

b = -4

The y-intercept of the line is -4

The equation of the line that passes through the point (-8, 0) and is parallel to the line x + 2y = 14 is y = -1/2x - 4

Find the number that makes the 2 fractions equivalent 3/8=9/?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

The numerator of the equivalent fraction of 3/8 is 9. From this, we can see that the common factor that is being multiplied is 3. So the denominator, 8, has to be multiplied by 3 as well which gives you 24. 9/24 is an equivalent fraction of 3/8

El Sr negron tiene que redactar una serie de cartas en su oficina. A Lourdes le toma 6 horas pasar todas las cartas. A su compañera rosabel, le toma 9 horas en realizar la misma tarea. Si ambas trabajan juntas para hacer todo el trabajo d ela oficina,

a. Cuánto tiempo le tomará a ambas realizar el trabajo?

Answer:

3.6 horas

Step-by-step explanation:

Sea el número total de horas que ambos trabajaron = T

Deje que la cantidad total de letras por las que pasaron = 1

De la pregunta, se nos dice:

Lourdes necesitó 6 horas para revisar las cartas.

Esto significa que, cada 1 hora, Lourdes revisaba 1/6 de las letras

Rosabel tardó 9 horas en leer las letras.

Esto significa que, cada 1 hora, Rosabel revisó 1/9 de las letras

Por lo tanto,

(1/6 × 1) T + (1/9 × 1) T = 1

(1/6 + 1/9) T = 1

(3 + 2/18) T = 1

(18/5) T = 1

5T / 18 = 1

Cruz multiplicar

5T = 18

T = 18/5

T = 3.6 horas

Por lo tanto, les tomó a ambas 3.6 horas hacer el trabajo.
