What is the equation of a line parallel to y=(3)/(4)x-5 and passes through (12,-2)?

A parallel line has the same slope as the original line. So in this case the slope of the line is also 3/4. Now how do we know if it intersects the point? We need to adjust the y intercept.



Currently, we know the equation of the line is y= 3/4 x + b, where b is the thing we are looking for. We also have a point, which supplies the x and y. Plug that in and solve for b

-2 = (3/4)*(12) + b

You'll get b= -11

So the equation of the parallel line intersecting the point given is y= 3/4x -11.

I am assuming that the slope is 3/4 based on the way you formatted the original equation, but it's the same steps if the slope is different.

Need help on this, need help now D:
baherus [9]

Answer:

\sqrt{34}

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the distance using the distance formula

d = √ (x₂ - x₁ )² + (y₂ - y₁ )²

with (x₁, y₁ ) = A(- 2, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = B(3, 8)

d = \sqrt{(3+2)^2+(8-5)^2}

   = \sqrt{5^2+3^2}

   = \sqrt{25+9}

   = \sqrt{34}

At a large company banquet for several thousand employees and their families, many of the attendees became ill the next day. The
yan [13]

Answer:

a. Yes.  This provides convincing evidence that the true proportion of all attendees who ate the fish that got sick (80%) is more than the true proportion of all attendees who did not eat the fish that got sick.

b. The mistake here would have been the rejection of the Doctor's theory or hypothesis to the effect that more attendees who ate the fish got sick than those who did not eat the fish. This is a Type 1 error.   A Type 1 error occurs when a null hypothesis is rejected when it is true. On the other hand, a Type II error occurs when the null hypothesis is accepted when it should be rejected.  While a Type I error is equivalent to a false positive, a Type II error is equivalent to a false negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of attendees who ordered fish = 1,000

Sample size of the attendees who ate fish = 80

Number of attendees who ate the fish and got sick = 64 (80% or 64/80)

Sample size of attendees who did not eat fish = 60

Number of attendees who did not eat fish and got sick = 39 (65% or 39/60)
