The equation of a line in the slope intercept form is expressed as

y = mx + c

Where

m represents slope

c represents y intercept

The equation of the given line is expressed as

3x - 6y = 30

Rearranging it so that it will look like the slope intercept form, it becomes

6y = 3x - 30

Dividing both sides by 6, it becomes

6y/6 = 3x/6 - 30/6

y = x/2 - 5

Looking at the equation, slope, m = 1/2

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have equal slope. This means that the slope of the line parallel to the given line is 1/2

To determine the y intercept, c of the line passing through the point (4, - 9), we would substitute

x = 4, y = - 9 and m = 1/2 into the slope intercept equation. It becomes

- 9 = 1/2 * 4 + c

- 9 = 2 + c

c = - 9 - 2

c = - 11

By substtuting m = 1/2 and c = - 11 into the slope intercept equation, the equation of the line would be

y = x/2 - 11

Pythagorean theorem
marta [7]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} \\ so 8^{2} +b^{2} =\sqrt{80} ^{2}

rearrange the formula:

\sqrt{80} ^{2} - 8^{2} = b^{2}

80 - 64 = b^2

b^2 = 16\\b  = \sqrt{16}

\sqrt{16}  = 4

x = 4+4 = 8

Plot the vertex and the axis of symmetry of this function on the provided graph.
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

(-2,-6)

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the vertex take the number that's in the parathenses with the x and flip it's sign (in this case to a negative) which means we have

-2

 this is the x coordinate of the vertex.

Next take the number that's being subtracted (or added) on the outside and leave that as is (-6)

This is the y coordinate

which means we have (-2,-6)

the axis of symmetry is just the x coordinate of the graph

which is -2
