Write an equation of the line that is parallel to 3x + 9y = 7 and passes through the point (6, 4).

First, rearrange the equation to standard line format
3x + 9y = 7
9y = -3x + 7
y = -3/9x + 7/9
y = -1/3x + 7/9

now we know the slope of the line (both the existing and the new parallel one, since they both have the same slope)

y = -1/3x + b

plug in the new point in and solve for b

4 = -1/3(6) + b
4 = -2 + b
b = 6

y = -1/3x + 6 is the equation for the parallel line

A tetrahedron is a triangular pyramid with 4 equilateral faces. Han has a box of tetrahedrons with each of the 4 vertices marked
Daniel [21]

Theoretically, the number of the vertex comes at the top must be equal for infinitely many numbers of trials, but it's a tedious job to roll the dice for a large number of times. Rolling the tetrahedron only 10 times will not predict the correct result.

Han suspects that this tetrahedron is weighted in some way to make 1 appear more often than the other numbers.

So, check his suspect experimentally with the help of the concept of center of mass. A fair tetrahedron must have the center of mass at the center of the body.

The given tetrahedron has 4 equilateral triangular faces, so at first, measure all the sides of triangular faces and make sure that all are having the same length.

Then, conduct an experiment to check the location of the center of mass.

Hang the tetrahedron by attaching a thin string at the vertex 1 as shown in the figure and observe the base surface ( triangle 234) whether it is parallel to the ground or not.

Now, repeat the same by hanging it with vertices 2, 3, and 4 and observe the base surface.

For the center of mass to be located at the center of the tetrahedron, the base must be parallel to the ground (flat ground).i.e the hanging string must be perpendicular to the base for all the four cases.

If this is so, then the tetrahedron is a fair tetrahedron otherwise not.

Which are equivalent to Two and three-fourths times eight-ninths? Check all that apply.
stira [4]

Answer: Eleven Fourths xEight Ninths.

Step-by-step explanation: To get the mixed number Eleven Fourths, you have to multiply 4x2 (4 as the denominator and 2 as the whole number) to get 8, and add 3 (numerator) to get 11, and then put 4 over it as the original denominator to get 11/4. Then, just plug back in the numbers: 11/4 x 8/9 (Eleven-Fourths times Eight-Ninths)
