Find the equation of the line that passes through (0, -3) and is parallel to

Tresset [83]

Hey there!

Answer:

$\green{\boxed{\red{\bold{\sf{y = \dfrac{7}{6}x - 3}}}}}$

$\\$

Explanation:

To find the equation of a line, we first have to determine its slope knowing that parallel lines have the same slope.

Let the line that we are trying to determine its equation be $\: \sf{d_1} \:$ and the line that is parallel to $\: \sf{d_1} \:$ be $\: \sf{d_2} \:$ .

$\sf{d_2} \:$ passes through the points (9 , 2) and (3 , -5) which means that we can find its slope using the slope formula:

$\sf{m = \dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{\green{y_2} - \orange{y_1}}{\red{x_2} - \blue{x_1 }}}$

$\\$

⇒Subtitute the values :

$\sf{(\overbrace{\blue{9}}^{\blue{x_1}}\: , \: \overbrace{\orange{2}}^{\orange{y_1}}) \: \: and \: \: (\overbrace{\red{3}}^{\red{x_2}} \: , \: \overbrace{\green{-5}}^{\green{y_2}} )}$

$\implies \sf{m = \dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} = \dfrac{\green{-5} - \orange{2}}{\red{ \: \: 3} - \blue{9 }} = \dfrac{ - 7}{ - 6} = \boxed{ \bold{\dfrac{7}{6} }}}$

$\sf{\bold{The \: slope \: of \: both \: lines \: is \: \dfrac{7}{6}}}$ .

Assuming that we want to get the equation in Slope-Intercept Form, let's substitute m = 7/6:

Slope-Intercept Form:

$\sf{y = mx + b} \\ \sf{Where \: m \: is \: the \: slope \: of \: the \: line \: and \: b \: is \: the \: y-intercept.}$

$\implies \sf{y = \bold{\dfrac{7}{6}}x + b}$ $\\$

We know that the coordinates of the point (0 , -3) verify the equation since it is on the line $\: \sf{d_1} \:$ . Now, replace y with -3 and x with 0:

$\implies \sf{\overbrace{-3}^{y} = \dfrac{7}{8} \times \overbrace{0}^{x} + b} \\ \\ \implies \sf{-3 = 0 + b} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \implies \sf{\boxed{\bold{b = -3}} } \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:$

Therefore, the equation of the line $\: \bold{d_1} \:$ is $\green{\boxed{\red{\bold{\sf{y = \dfrac{7}{6}x - 3}}}}}$

Desiree drove north for 30 minutes at 50 miles per hour. Then, she drove south for 60 minutes at 20 miles per hours. How far and

mylen [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario is illustrated in the attached photo.

Desiree drove north for 30 minutes at 50 miles per hour.

Distance = speed × time

Distance travelled by Desiree to the north is 50 × 30 = 1500 miles

Distance travelled by Desiree back from the north and to the south is

60 × 20 = 1500 miles

She started from south and drove 1500 miles towards the north. She returned by driving 1200 miles again towards south . Distance of Desiree from where she started will be 1500 - 1200 = 300 miles.

She is 300 miles from her starting position and she is in the southern direction.
