Answer:

  (a)  -20 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion can be solved using "cross multiply" as the first step. This eliminates the fractions and turns it into a linear equation.

  2/7 = -5/(x +3) . . . . . given

  2(x +3) = -35 . . . . . . multiply by 7(x +3)

  2x = -41 . . . . . . . . . simplify, subtract 6

  x = -20 1/2 . . . . . . divide by 2

Find the equation of the line which passes through the point (−2,−5) and is parallel to the line −3x+5y=−4.
leonid [27]
-3x+5y=-4
5y=3x-4
Y=3/5x-4/5


When it parallel to the line y=3/5x-4/5

It can be y=-3/5x+b

-5=6/5+b

B=-5-6/5=-25/5-6/5=-31/5

Y=-3/5x-31/5

3/5x+y=-31/5

Multiply 5

3x+5y=-31
