Answer:

The answer is

y =  -  \frac{5}{2} x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If two equations are parallel it means that both their gradients are equal. We were given the equation:

5x +  2y = 12

in order to find the gradient of this equation that we are given we have to ensure that it is in its simplest form:

5x + 2y = 12 \\ 2y = 12 - 5x \\  \frac{2y}{2}  =  \frac{12}{2}  -  \frac{5}{2} x \\ y = 6  -  \frac{5}{2} x \: \\ or \: \\ y =   - \frac{5}{2} x + 6

Therefore the gradient of the parallel line with points (-2, 4) is also -5/2

y = mx + c \\ 4 =  - \frac{ 5}{2} ( - 2) + c \\ 4 =  \frac{10}{2}   + c \\ 4 = 5 + c \\ 4 - 5 = c \\

c =  - 1 \\ hence \: the \: equation \: for \: the \: \\  parallel \: line \: is \\  \: y =  -  \frac{5}{2} x  - 1

Which triangle congruence postulates can be used to prove that Triangle ABD is congruent to Triangle CDB in Rectangle ABCD?
kramer

Answer:

SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, HL

Step-by-step explanation:

1. SSS (side side side) says if 3 sides of one triangle are congruent to 3 sides of another triangle, then the 2 triangles are congruent.

2. SAS (side angle side) says if 2 sides and the included angle of a triangle are congruent to 2 sides and the included angle of another triangle, then the 2 triangles are congruent.

3. ASA (angle side angle) says if 2 angles and the included side of a triangle are congruent to 2 angles and the included side of another triangle, then the 2 triangles are congruent.

4. AAS (angle angle side) says if 2 angles and the none included side of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding parts of another triangle, then the 2 triangles are congruent.

5 HL (hypotenuse leg) says if 2 right triangles that have a congruent hypotenuse and a corresponding congruent leg, then the 2 triangles are congruent.

Because it is a rectangle, the sides are equal, and they share the same hypotenuse.

The elevation of lake sam rayburn is 164 above mean sea level during the summer if it does not rain the elevation of the lake de
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

I guess that you want to model the elevation of Lake Sam Rayburn.

During the summer, it is 165 ft above the sea level (the sea level is our position 0ft).

If it does not rain, the elevation of the lake decreases by 0.5ft each week.

So if we assume that there is no rain, we can write the elevation fo the lake as a linear relationship with slope equal to -0.5ft and y-intercept equal to 165ft.

L(w) = 165ft - 0.5ft*w

Where w is the number of weeks without rain, if we have 0 weeks without rain, then the level of the lake remains constant at 165ft above sea level,

L(0) = 165ft - 0.
