Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line parallel to y=8x-8 through (5,2)

The equation would be y = 8x - 38

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of this new line, we first need to identify the slope of the first line. In slope-intercept form, the slope is always the coefficient of x. This makes the slope of the first equation 8. Since parallel lines have the same slope, our new slope will also be 8.

Given that and the point, we can solve for the equation using point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 8(x - 5)

y - 2 = 8x - 40

y = 8x - 38

step-by-step explanation:

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
