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

Larry bought 12 containers of pasta salad for a school picnic. Each container held the same number of ounces of salad. Students
tester [92]

Answer:

12 p - 8 p,  4p ( 3 - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

p = equal the number of ounces of pasta salad in one container

then 12 × p = 12 p in 12 containers

the students finished the pasta salad in 8 containers which equals = 8 p

the number of ounces of pasta left = 12 p - 8 p  

b) using the distributive property for example a ( b + c) = ( a×b) + (a ×c)

12 p - 8 p = 4p ( 3 - 2)

What is the distance between the points (59.5, 34.2) and (15.3, 14.9)? Enter your answer rounded to the nearest tenth (0.1).
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

48.2

Step-by-step explanation:

√(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

√(15.3-59.5)² +(14.9-34.2)²

√(-44.2)² + (-19.3)²

√1953.64+372.49

√2326.13

What is an estimate for the square root of 150? (Do not find the exact value) Show work
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Somewhere between 12 and 13, perhaps 12.25

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a (rather) simple explanation:

Look for 2 square numbers that are either side of 150

In this case, it is 144 and 169

The square root of 144 is 12 and the square root of 169 is 13

Therefore we can estimate that the square root of 150 is somewhere between 12 and 13.

As 150 is a lot closer to 144 to 169, I would estimate around 12.25 but you do not need an exact value :)
