The equation of the line parallel to 8x − 3y = 1 and containing the point (−2, 0) is 8x -3y = -16

<h3>Equation of a straight line</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the equation of the line parallel to the given equation and that passes through the given point

Lines that are parallel to each other will have the same slope.

First, we will determine the slope of the line in the given equation.

The given equation of the line is

8x − 3y = 1

Express the equation in the slope-intercept form of a line, y = mx + b

Where m is the slope and

b is the y-intercept

That is,

8x − 3y = 1

8x -1 = 3y

3y = 8x - 1

y = 8/3(x) - 1/3

By comparing,

∴ The slope of the line is 8/3

Since we are to find the equation of a line parallel to this, the slope of the line will also be 8/3

Now, find the equation of a line containing the point (-2, 0) and that has  a slope of 8/3

Using the point-slope form of a line

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

x₁ = -2

and y₁ = 0

∴ y - 0 = 8/3(x - -2)

y = 8/3(x +2)

3y = 8(x +2)

3y = 8x + 16

8x -3y = -16

Hence, the equation of the line parallel to 8x − 3y = 1 and containing the point (−2, 0) is 8x -3y = -16

66 athletes are running a race. A gold medal is to be given to the winner, a silver medal is to be
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

274560

Step-by-step explanation:

We can "choose" one of the 66 athletes for the gold medal. That athlete can't win any other medals, so there are 65 athletes left.

We can then "choose" one of the 65 athletes left for the silver medal. That athlete can't win any other medals, so there are 64 athletes left.

We can then "choose" one of the 64 athletes left for the bronze medal.

That leaves us with 66 possible choices * 65 possible choices * 64 possible choices=274560 possible choices

Students were packed shoulder to shoulder in a gym for a pep rally. The students were in a rectangular shaped area of 7,500 ft2.
hram777 [196]

Answer: 1527

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Area = 7500 ft^2

Area covered by one student = Area of one circle

                                                   = π*r^2

r = radius of circle = 2.5/2 = 1.25 ft

Area covered by one student = π*1.25^2 = 4.91 ft^2

Number of students who can fit into total area = Total Area/Area covered by one student

Number of students who can fit into total area = 7500/4.91 = 1527.49

Hence the answer is 1527 students

Tri City sells four times as many dishwashers as Solly Company. The difference between their sales is 96 dishwashers. How many d
kondaur [170]
We use a system of equations to solve this. Since tri city sells 4 times it becomes 4x and solly company is x. Then we do 4x-x=96. 3x=96. x=32. We are not finished yet. We still have to multiply x by 4. x=128. Tri City sold 128 dishwashers.
