1 answer:

5 0

The standard form equation for a line passing through the point (-3, 4) and parallel to the line denoted by y = 1/2x+4 is 2y - x = 11.

The standard form equation

ax + by = c

Here a, b, and c are constants and therefore use the slope-intercept form.

y = mx + c ...... (1)

where m is the slope, b = y-intercept

y = 1/2x + 4

Slope (m) = 1/2

It passes through a line that has points (-3,4)

Let's find c by putting the value of x = -3 and y = 4 in equation (1).

4 = 1/2 (-3) + c

4 = -3/2 + c

c = 4 + 3/2

=> c = (8+3)/2

=> c = 11/2

Therefore,

y = 1/2x + 11/2

y = (x+11)/2

=> 2y - x = 11

2y - x = 11 is the standard form of the line that passes through (-3,4) and is parallel to the line represented by y = 1/2x+4.

Need help! Does anyone know how to do this type of math? (It's geometry)

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve the question we need to recall one of the most important theorem of circle known as two tangent theorem which states that tangents which meet at the same point are equal that is being said

FA=AI=17
CH=CG=2.5

since $\rm BA=FA+FB$ and it's given that FA and BA are 17 and 29 FB should be

$\rm 29=17+FB$

therefore,

$FB=29-17=\boxed{12}$

once again by two tangent theorem we acquire:

$FB=BH=\boxed{12}$

As BC=BH+CH,BC is

12+2.5
$\boxed{14.5}$

likewise,AD=AI+DI so,

21=17+DI [AD=21(given) and AI=17 (by the theorem)]

thus,

DI=21-17= $\boxed{4}$

By the theorem we obtain:

DI=DG=4

Similarly,DC=DG+CH therefore,

DC=4+2.5= $\boxed{6.5}$

Now finding the Perimeter of ABCD

$P_{\text{ABCD}}=\text{AB+AD+BC+DC}$

substitute what we have and got

$P_{\text{ABCD}}=\text{29+21+14.5+6.5}$

simplify addition:

$P_{\text{ABCD}}=\boxed{71}$

hence,

the Perimeter of ABCD is 71

The average time taken to complete a test follows normal probability distribution with a mean of 70 minutes and a standard devia

Dimas [21]

Under 45 mins is roughly 16%. This is because 68% of the curve exists within 1 SD of the mean. So 16% must be outside and smaller and 16% outside and larger (on average).

It is impossible to determine how likely you are to find someone with exactly the second amount. However, if you are looking for that or less, you would get 84%

Decide which part of the quadratic formula tells you whether the quadratic equation can be solved by factoring:

andre [41]

The part of the quadratic formula that dictates whether the function is factorable or not is B. b^2 - 4ac. This determines the number of real, imaginary, negative and positive roots.
In the equation 2x^2 + 7x + 3,
we use the quadratic formula
x = -b +- sqrt (b2 -4ac) /2a = -7 +- sqrt (49 -24) /4
the answers are x1 =-0.5 and x2 = -3.

!!!!!!! Why isn't A the correct answer? I am having trouble to reason why A is wrong so please help if can!

Answer:

d. x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{(x + 3)}$ ÷ (x+8)(x-2) = 0

f(x) / g(x) = 0

Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values −8,2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by (x−2)(x+8).

$\sqrt{(x + 3)}$ = 0 ------ square both sides

x + 3 = 0

solve for x:

x = -3
