Write the equation of the line that is parallel to y=4x-1 and passes through the point (4.9)

9514 1404 393

  y = 4x -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearranging the slope-intercept for equation, we can find the intercept:

  y = mx +b

  y -mx = b . . . . . subtract mx

We know the slope of the parallel line is the same as that of the given line (m=4), so we only need to find 'b'.

  b = 9 -4(4) = -7

The desired equation is ...

  y = mx +b

  y = 4x -7

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
