Hi,
Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
line which passes through (2, 1) and is perpendicular to x = –2
New Line: m = 1/2
y = (1/2)x + b
1 = (1/2)·2 + b |Using ordered pair (x,y):(2,1) to solve for b
0 = b, y = (1/2)x or x-2y = 0
line which passes through (5, –2) and is parallel to x = 4 (vertical line!)
New Line: vertical line, x = 5

Hi,
How many gallonshighlight%28x%29 of a 4% acid solution should be mixed
with 30 gallons of a 14% acid solution to obtain a mixture that is 8% acid?
acid = acid
.04x + .14·30 = .08(30-x) |Solve for x, may first multiply thru by 100 if you like
