Parallel to 7x+8y=-40 and goes through (16, -12)

7x + 8y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to get the slope of the given line.  

The line is in standard form ax + by = c

The slope = -a/b.  (That's a little formula you can use to find the slope when the line is in standard form)

In this problem,  m = - 7/8

Since the line we are trying to find is parallel, it has a slope of -7/8

Now use the point-slope form

y - (-12) = -7/8(x - 16)    Multiply thru by 8 to remove the fractions

8(y + 12) = -7(x - 16)

8y + 96 = - 7x + 112

7x + 8y = 16

26 is 33.33% of 78

step-by-step explanation:

26 is what percent of 78?

26 is p% of 78

equation: y = p% * x

solving our equation for p

p% = y/x

p% = 26/78

p = 0.3333

convert decimal to percent:

p% = 0.3333 * 100 = 33.33%
