1)Parallel means they have to have the same slope. Since our equation is y=2/3x+1, a line parallel to that would be(using out points) -5=2/3(-4)+b.

To find the y-intercept, solve for "b".

b=-7/3

Our equation would then be y=2/3x-7/3

2)Perpendicular lines have opposite-reciprocal slopes. our previous equation was y=2/3x+1, so our new equation would be -5=-3/2(-4)+b. Now lets solve for b.

b=-11

So our perpendicular equation would be y=-3/2x-11

Hope that was helpful. :)

Complete the equation of the line through (-10,-7)(−10,−7)(, minus, 10, comma, minus, 7, )and (-5,-9)(−5,−9)(, minus, 5, comma,

Answer:

$y = -\frac{2}{5}\cdot x - 11$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the slope is determined by using the following expression:

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$m = \frac{-7-(-9)}{-10 - (-5)}$

$m = -\frac{2}{5}$

The y-intercept is found by using the line equation, the slope and one point:

$y = m \cdot x +b$

$b = y - m\cdot x$

$b = -7 - \left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)\cdot (-10)$

$b = -11$

The equation of the line is:

$y = -\frac{2}{5}\cdot x - 11$

gary mixes a solution using two types of concentration of sale: .70 gallons of 5% and .30 gallons of 22% salt. what is the conce

wolverine [178]

Answer:

10.1%

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we should do is calculate the total volume of the solution when mixing them would be:

0.7 + 0.3 = 1

Now, we have that the resulting concentration (x) would be equal to the sum of the multiplications between the volumes and the concentrations to be mixed, as follows:

x * 1 = 0.7 * 0.05 + 0.3 * 0.22

x = 0.035 + 0.066

x = 0.101

That is, the concentration of the resulting mixture would be 10.1% (0.101 * 100)
