What is the equation of the line that is parallel to y=1/5x+4 and that passes through (5,-4)

answer:

y = x - 5

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 = x + 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m =

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (5, - 4) into the partial equation

- 4 = 1 + c ⇒ c = - 4 - 1 = - 5

y = x - 5 ← equation of parallel line

what’s the question?

answer: the sun

explanation:

water cycle describes the evaporation of water from earth's surface, formation of clouds and precipitation water back onto the surface of earth. seventy percent of the earth is covered with water in the form of seas and oceans. the heat of the sun causes the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. the water vapors rise and condense to form water droplets. the collection of these water droplets form clouds which rain down again.

the evaporation of the oceans surface water as part of the water cycle is caused by the sun
