Write an equation (in slope-intercept form) that is parallel to 4x + 5y = 10 and has the same y-intercept as -3x - 4y = 24.

Sagot :

Answer:

y = -4/5 x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First turn both standard form equations to slope-intercept form.

4x + 5y = 10 -3x - 4y = 24

-4x -4x +3x +3x

5y = -4x + 10 -4y = 3x + 24

5 5 -4 -4

y = -4/5 x + 2. y = -3/4 x - 6

Now that you have each in slope-intercept form, we can begin the magic.

So we know that this line's y-intercept will be -6.

Not to mention since it's parallel, that means it will share the same slope as y = -4/5 x + 2, which the slope is -4/5. All together it will be

y = -4/5 x - 6. Now we can graph the line's to see if we we're right. (Look at graphs, attached above⤴⤴⤴) As you can see they are parallel.

Hope this helped :)
