What is the slope of a line parallel to the following line: 5x + 8y = 50

-5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert standard form to slope-intercept form to find the slope.

5x + 8y = 50

8y = -5x + 50

y = -5/8x + 50/8

Slope: -5/8

-5/8x

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find the slope of the given line.

Do this by converting it to slope intercept form (y=mx+b)

Divide the whole equation by 8 to isolate the y variable.

After dividing by 8 you should now have 5/8x + y = 6.25

Now you need to subtract y and 6.25 to isolate y

5/8x - 6.25 = -y

Now you have to divide the whole equation by negative 1 to make y positive. You end up with: y = -5/8 + 6.25

We know that the slopes of parallel lines are equal. Therefore the answer is -5/8x

answer: a) (0,0), (1,1), (2,8), and (3,27).

step-by-step explanation:

0^3=0

1^3=1

2^3=8

3^3=27

in effect, the exponential equation for this would me y=3^x. each x-coordinate cubed is giving the y coordinate, so a is your answer : )

the equation for this situation is y=122+45. to solve the equation you would add 45 and 122 to get a total of 167lbs. in conclusion, grace's weight eight weeks ago was 167lbs.
