Consider the line y = - 4x +3, Find the equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (2, -3).

Step-by-step explanation:

y=m₁x+b₁   ║   y=m₂x+b₂   ⇔    m₁ = m₂

{Two lines are parallel if  their slopes are equal}

y = - 4x + 3    ⇒   m₁ = -4    ⇒    m₂ = -4

The point-slope form of the equation of a line it's y - y₁ = m(x - x₁), where m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is the point the line passing through.

m = -4

(2, -3)   ⇒   x₁ = 2,  y₁ = -3

point-slope form:

y - (-3) = -4(x - 2)

y + 3 = -4x + 8             {subtact 3 from both sides}

y = -4x + 5        ←    slope-intercept form

answer: the price of one pound cabbage = $ 0.8

the point (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds cabbage is $ 8

step-by-step explanation:

since, here is a proportional relation between the number of pounds of cabbage (x) and the price in dollars (y).

therefore, we can write,

⇒ y = k x

where k is the constant of proportionality.

now, point (5,4) is in the line.

thus, it will satisfies the above equation of line.

⇒ 4 = 5 k

⇒ k = 0.8

thus, the equation of the line is,

y = 0.8 x

a) for x = 1,

y = 0.8

therefore, the cost of one pound of cabbage is 0.8 dollars.

b) in the below graph (10,8) represents that the cost of 10 pounds of cabbage is 8 dollars.
