Billy watched the clown car drive up to the circus and saw 14 clowns get out of one little car. the clowns made up 56%, percent of the performers in the circus. how many performers were in the circus?

Equation of line 1  is 3 X - 4 Y = 20

Equation of line 2 is 3 X  + 4 Y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given co ordinates of points as,

( -4 , 8)  and (0 , 5)

From the given two points we can determine the slop of a line

I. e slop (m) =

Or,           m  =

So,           m =

Now equations of line can be written as ,

Y - y1 = m ( X - x1)

At points ( -4 , 8)

Y - 8   = (X + 4)

So , Equation of line 1  is 3 X - 4 Y = 20

Again with points ( 0 , 5)

Y - 5   = ( X - 0)

So, Equation of line 2 is 3 X  + 4 Y = 20

Hence Equation of line 1  is 3 X - 4 Y = 20  and Equation of line 2 is 3 X  + 4 Y = 20   Answer
