Answer:

y = 1/2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1/2x + b

0 = -4 + b

b = 4

y = 1/2x + 4

keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, hmmm so what's the slope of the equation above?

\bf y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{2}}x+6\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}

so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/2 and runs through (-8 , 0)

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-8}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{1}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{0}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{1}{2}}[x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-8)}] \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{1}{2}(x+8)\implies y=\cfrac{1}{2}x+4

Answer:

Question 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2) The time when she woke up was -  3° C

During nature walk, temperature got 3° C warmer than when she woke up.

So, temperature during nature walk = - 3 + 3 = 0° C

3(4x - 2) = 2(6x - 3)

12x - 6 = 12x - 6

Add 6 on both sides

12x = 12x

Divide by 12 on both sides

x = x

That means this has infinite solutions. Your answer is B.

If sin θ = 2 over 7 and tan θ > 0, what is the value of cos θ?
sergey [27]
Sin θ = 2 / 7
tan θ > 0
cos θ = ?

sin θ = opposite / hypotenuse
tan θ = opposite / adjacent
cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse

short leg = opposite = 2
hypotenuse = 7
long leg = adjacent = ?

adjacent = √(7² - 2²)
adjacent = √(49 - 4)
adjacent = √45
adjacent = √9 * 5
adjacent = 3 √5

cos θ = adjacent / hypotenuse
cos θ = 3√5 / 7

What is the slope of y = -3x + 3?
AnnZ [28]
<span>Use the slope intercept form y=<span><span>mx</span>+b, </span></span><span>where </span><span>m</span><span> is the slope and </span><span>b</span><span> is the y-intercept. So with saying that plug your problem in so y = -3x+3 so your answer would be m=-3 which is the slope.

~Hope this Helps! Good Luck!~
