Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For two lines to be parallel their slopes must be equal. For two lines to be perpendicular their slopes must be the negative reciprocal of each other.

Step 1 Find the slope of the equation.

Put it into the slope-intercept form. y = mx + b.  

For x-y = 7, move the x to the left; therefore subtract the x from both sides. this leaves you  -y = -x + 7

Then, divide both sides by -1 to get a positive y.  -y/-1 = (-x + 7)/-1

This leaves y = x - 7  The slope(m) for this equation is m = 1

The other equation must also have a slope of 1 or m=1 for the lines to be parallel.

Use the point given to you (-7, -6) and substitute for (x, y)

The slope-intercept form y = mx + b can once again be used.

x = -7, y =-6, and slope or m = 1

Therefore,  y = mx + b substituted will be -6 = (1)(-7) + b; now, solve for b which is the y intercept

-6 = -7 + b add 7 to both sides -6 +7 = -7 + b +7 ; therefore, b = 1

Now you know the slope(m) which is equal to 1 and the y-intercept(b) which is equal to 1.

Finally, substitute the m and b in the slope-intercept form

            y = (1)x + 1 or y = x +1

louise skip counts by 4 on a number line to find 5 x 4 how many jumps should she draw in the number line
saul85 [17]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

It depends:

  • 4 if she starts at 4
  • 5 if she starts at 0
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Louise needs to end up a total of 5 times 4 away from zero.

If she starts at 4, which is 1 times 4, then she needs to jump 4 more times, to 2, 3, 4, 5 times 4.

If she starts at 0, then she needs to jump 5 times to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 times 4. (The values at the end of each jump will be {4, 8, 12, 16, 20}.)
