Answer:

The equation would be y = 8x - 38

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of this new line, we first need to identify the slope of the first line. In slope-intercept form, the slope is always the coefficient of x. This makes the slope of the first equation 8. Since parallel lines have the same slope, our new slope will also be 8.

Given that and the point, we can solve for the equation using point-slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 8(x - 5)

y - 2 = 8x - 40

y = 8x - 38

Point C(3.6, -0.4) divides in the ratio 3 : 2. If the coordinates of A are (-6, 5), the coordinates of point B are . If point D

polet [3.4K]

Given:
A has coordinates (-6,5)
C has coordinates (3.6,-0.4).
C divides AB in the ratio 3:2.

Refer to the diagram shown below.
The coordinates of B are determined by
$\frac{3.6-(-6)}{x-(-6)} = \frac{3}{3+2} \\ \frac{9.6}{x+6} = \frac{3}{5} \\ 3(x+6) = 48 \\ 3x +18=48 \\ x=30/3=10$
Also,
$\frac{5-(-0.4)}{5-y} = \frac{3}{5} \\ 3(5-y) = 27 \\ 15-3y=27 \\ y= \frac{12}{-3} =-4$

Answer:
The coordinates of B are (10,-4).

Now, we know the coordinates of line segment AB as A (-6, 5) and B (10,-4).
D (x,y) divides AB in the ratio 4:5.
Therefore
$\frac{x-(-6)}{10-(-6)} = \frac{4}{4+5} \\ \frac{x+6}{16} = \frac{4}{9} \\ 9(x+6)=64 \\ 9x+54=64 \\ x=1.11$
Also,
$\frac{5-y}{5-(-4)} = \frac{4}{9} \\ 5-y = 4 \\ y = 1$

Answer:
The coordinates of D are (1.11, 1)

1. 5x + 2(x +6) simplify each expression

irina [24]

1. 5x+ 2(x+6)
= 5x+ 2x+ 2*6 (distributive property)
= 5x+ 2x+ 12
= (5x+ 2x)+ 12 (combine like terms)
= 7x+ 12

The correct answer is C. 7x+12~

2. <span> -3m + 3(m + 6)
= -3m+ 3m+ 3*6
= -3m+ 3m+ 18
= (-3m+ 3m)+ 18
= 18
