Find the slope and y-intercept of the line that is parallel to y = -2 +3 and passes through the point

Alex17521 [72]

Slope = -2 Y - intercept = 18

To find a parallel line, use the same equation as before, but..
- Change x and y to the coordinates
- Make b a variable
- The slope stays the same! Since they are parallel they have the same slope.

The equation should look like:
6 = (-2)(-6) + b

Then solve for b
6 = (-2)(-6) + b
6 = -12 + b
18 = b

So, the slope is the same (-2) and the y-intercept is 18.

y = -2x + 18

Calculate the perimeter of a square whose diagonal measures 29 dm.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

$4\sqrt{420.5}$ dm

Step-by-step explanation:

A square's diagonal cuts across the square, making two right triangles where the diagonal is the hypotenuse.

We have a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 29, and two legs that are the same length (because they are sides of a square)

So, we can use pythagoreans theorem to find the lengths of the legs, or sides of the square.

$a^2 + a^2 = 29^2$

$2a^2 = 841$

$a^2 = 420.5\\$

$a = \sqrt{420.5}$

Now that we have a side length of $\sqrt{420.5}$ , we just have to multiply that by 4, since a square has 4 sides. This leaves us with a final perimeter of:

$4\sqrt{420.5}$
