Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y = 1/5x + 7 and passes through the
point (5, -3).

y = 1/5 x -  4

Step-by-step explanation: Recall the equation of the line in the form : y = mx + c , where m is the slope and c is the y - intercept. Comparing this with the equation , it means m = 1/5. Note : for two lines to be parallel, then they must have the same slope, i.e the slope of the other line is also 1/5.

To find the equation of the other line , use the formula;

y - y1 = m ( x - x1) , from the question , x1 = 5 and y1 = -3, substituting, we have

y - ( -3) = 1/5 ( x -5 )

y + 3 = 1/5x - 1

       y = 1/5x -1-3

       y = 1/5x - 4

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.

i think the answer is b
