Writing the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, we have:

$y=mx+b$

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Since parallel lines have the same slope, we can see that the slope of the line y = 2/3x + 1 is equal m = 2/3, so for our equation we also have m = 2/3.

Now, using the point (0, -4), we have:

$\begin{gathered} y=\frac{2}{3}x+b \\ (0,-4)\colon \\ -4=\frac{2}{3}\cdot0+b \\ b+0=-4 \\ b=-4 \end{gathered}$

So our equation is:

$y=\frac{2}{3}x-4$

y = 2/3x - 4

A police officer seals off the scene of an accident using a roll of yellow tape that is 272 feet long. What dimensions should be

klasskru [66]

Answer:

68 feet square

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangle with the maximum area for a given perimeter is a square. The perimeter of a square is 4 times the side length, so the side length of the square area will be ...

(272 ft)/4 = 68 ft

_____

More formally ...

You can let x represent the length of one side. Then the length of the other side for the given perimeter will be 136 -x, and the area will be the product ...

area = x(136 -x)

The area function is a quadratic with zeros at x=0 and x=136. The vertex (maximum area) will be at the value of x that is on the line of symmetry between these points, at their midpoint: x = (0 +136)/2 = 68. This value of x makes the rectangle a square.

If line segment BC is considered the base of triangle ABC, what is the corresponding height of the triangle?

Leni [432]

Answer:

1.6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Coordinates of A : (-1,1)

Coordinates of B : (3,2)

Coordinates of C :( -1,-1)

Now to find the length of the sides of the triangle we will use distance formula :

$d =\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

To find length of AB

A = $(x_1,y_1)=(-1,1)$

B= $(x_2,y_2)=(3,2)$

Now substitute the values in the formula:

$d =\sqrt{(3-(-1))^2+(2-1)^2}$

$d =\sqrt{(4)^2+(1)^2}$

$d =\sqrt{16+1}$

$d =\sqrt{17}$

$d =4.12$

Now to find length of BC

B= $(x_1,y_1)=(3,2)$

C = $(x_2,y_2)=(-1,-1)$

Now substitute the values in the formula:

$d =\sqrt{(-1-3)^2+(-1-2)^2}$

$d =\sqrt{(-4)^2+(-3)^2}$

$d =\sqrt{16+9}$

$d =\sqrt{25}$

$d =5$

Now to find length of AC

A = $(x_1,y_1)=(-1,1)$

C = $(x_2,y_2)=(-1,-1)$

Now substitute the values in the formula:

$d =\sqrt{(-1-(-1))^2+(-1-1)^2}$

$d =\sqrt{(0)^2+(-2)^2}$

$d =\sqrt{4}$

$d =2$

Thus the sides of triangle are of length 4.12, 5 and 2

Now to find area of triangle we will use heron's formula :

To calculate the area of given triangle we will use the heron's formula :

$Area = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$

Where $s = \frac{a+b+c}{2}$

a,b,c are the side lengths of triangle

a = 4.12

b=5

c=2

Substitute the values

Now substitute the values :

$s = \frac{4.12+5+2}{2}$

$s =5.56$

$Area = \sqrt{5.56(5.56-4.12)(5.56-5)(5.56-2)}$

$Area = 3.99$

Now to find the height of altitude corresponding to side BC

So, formula of area of triangle $=\frac{1}{2} \times Base \times Height$

Since Area = 3.99 square units

So, $3.99 =\frac{1}{2} \times BC \times Height$

So, $3.99 =\frac{1}{2} \times 5\times Height$

$3.99 =2.5 \times Height$

$\frac{3.99}{2.5}=Height$

$1.596=Height$

Thus the altitude corresponding to the BC is of length 1.596 unit ≈ 1.6 units

Thus Option D is correct.

HELP ASAP FOR BRAINLIEST: The time required to finish a test in normally distributed with a mean of 60 minutes and a standard de

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The z-score = -3.7 and p (-3.7) = 0.00011 or 0.011%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Mean of time to finish a test = 60 minutes

Standard deviation of time to finish a test = 10 minutes

Time that a student finishes the test = 23 minutes

2. What is the z-score for the student?

z-score = (Time that a student finishes the test - Mean of time to finish a test)/Standard deviation of time to finish a test

Replacing with the real values:

z-score = (23 -60)/10 = -37/10 = -3.7

z-score = -3.7 and p (-3.7) = 0.00011 or 0.011%
