Write an equation for the line parallel to the line with the equation y = 5x – 8
that goes through the point (2,4).

y = 5x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 5x - 8 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 5

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = 5x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, 4) into the partial equation

4 = 10 + c ⇒ c = 4 - 10 = - 6

y = 5x - 6 ← equation of parallel line

answer: add the !

step-by-step explanation: then we will answer

30 miles

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 60 seconds equals 1 minute and 60 minutes 1 hour

44 ft       60 sec     60 min     158400   ft

  *   *   =

1 sec       1 min       1 hour         hour

we know that there are 5280 ft per mile

158400   ft       1 mile         30 miles

  *   =

1   hour               5280 ft     1 hour

so in 1 hour   it can travel 30 miles
