The equation for the line parallel to y = −x + 2 going through the point (−3, −5) is y = -x - 8

<h3>Equation of a line</h3>

The equation of a line in point slope form is expressed as:

y - y1 = m(x-x1)

Given the equation y = -x + 2, the slope of the line parallel to the line is -1

Substitute the slope and point (-3, -5)

y -(-5) = -1(x - (-3))

y+5 = -(x + 3)

y+5 =-x - 3

y = -x - 3 - 5

y = -x - 8

Hence the equation for the line parallel to y = −x + 2 going through the point (−3, −5) is y = -x - 8

Sean has some candy bars that he wants to give away. He is going to give each person \dfrac18 8 1 start fraction, 1, divided b

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

22 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Sean has 2 3/4 candy bars. That is 11/4 candy bars.

He wants to give out 1/8 candy bars.

The number of people that will get candy is:

$\frac{11}{4} / \frac{1}{8}\\ \\= \frac{\frac{11}{4} }{\frac{1}{8}} \\\\\frac{11}{4} * \frac{8}{1} \\\\22$

22 people can get candy.

Enter the explicit rule for the sequence

Softa [21]

Let's take a look at the first few numbers in the sequence based on the given rule:

$a_{1}=6\\ a_{2}= \frac{1}{4}(6)\\ a_3= \frac{1}{4}\big( \frac{1}{4}\big)6= \big(\frac{1}{4}\big)^2(6)\\ a_{4}= \frac{1}{4} \big(\frac{1}{4}\big)^26= \big(\frac{1}{4}\big)^3(6)$

Inspecting this pattern it seems like the power $\frac{1}{4}$ is being raised to is always one less than the number of the sequence, so if we were on the nth number in the sequence, that part of the expression would be $\big(\frac{1}{4} \big)^{n-1}$ . We also know that we'll be multiplying whatever we get from that by 6, so we can write the full explicit rule for our sequence as

$a_n=6\big( \frac{1}{4} \big)^{n-1}$

Where $a_n$ is the nth number in our sequence.

in a circle a 60 sector has an area of 25 pi square feet. what is the circumference? leave your answer in terms of pi and in sim

belka [17]

The area of the sector is given by the equation,
A = πr²(x / 360°)
where x is the number of degrees in the figure.
25π ft² = (πr²)(60/360)
The value of r is 12.25 ft. Then, we use this value to calculate for the circumference of the sector.
C = 2πr(x/360)
Substituting,
C = 2π(12.45)(60/360)
C = 12.83 ft³

PLZ HELP ITS BEING TIMED PLZ SOMEONE ANSWER!!!!!

Eduardwww [97]

Answer: First, you identify how many rises and runs the line is from each point on a graph (intersection). Then you take the y's and the x's and do y2-y1/x2-x1 to get the slope!
