Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point.

1 answer:

4 0

Parallel to y = 3/4x - 9 and passes through (-8, -18)

Identify the slope : our slope is 3/4

Remember that parallel equations have the same slope, so both slopes are 3/4

Now, we have to find the y-intercept. Simply plug everything into the slope intercept form equation.

y = mx + b

(-18) = (3/4)(-8) + b

Simplify.

-18 = -6 + b

Add 6 to both sides.

-18 + 6 = b

Therefore, our y-intercept is -12.

Now plug everything into the slope intercept form.

y = mx + b

y = 3/4x - 12

Okay organize first and you get

60, 60, 66, 77

even witch means you have to add the middle numbers then divide

60+66=126 divide by two = 63

your answer is B. 63 acres

hope this helped!

Y=-3x + 6<br> What is the slope? <br> And what would the points be on a graph

katen-ka-za [31]

The slope is -3 and the points would start at 6 which is the y intercept. you would plot a point at (0,6) then from there you would go up 3 and left one and continue this pattern. the line goes left because the slope is negative

Write the equation of the circle centered at (0,1) with radius 15.

NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

$x^2+(y-1)^2=225$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of the circle in center radius form is equal to

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

where

(h,k) is the center of the circle

r is the radius of the circle

In this problem we have

$(h,k)=(0,1)\\r=15\ units$

substitute

$(x-0)^2+(y-1)^2=15^2$

$x^2+(y-1)^2=225$

What is the first step when rewriting y=6x^2+18x+14 in the form y=a(x-h)^2+k?

Grace [21]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Factor 6 from the first two terms.

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

By factoring out "a", you can better see what "h" needs to be.

y = 6(x^2 +3x) +14 . . . . 6 factored from first 2 terms
add the square of half the x-coefficient inside parentheses; add the opposite outside: y = 6(x^2 +3x +2.25) +14 -6(2.25)
rewrite as a square; combine the constants: y = 6(x+1.5)^2 +0.5
