Answer:

y = -⅔x + ²²/₃  

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculate the slope of EF

Assume E is at (-2, 5) and F is at (1, 3).

m₁ = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (3 - 5)/(1 -(-2)) = -⅔

2. Calculate the slope of the parallel line

m₂ = m₁ = -⅔

3. Calculate its y-intercept

y = mx + b

6 =-⅔(2) + b

Simplify

6 = -⁴/₃ + b

Add ⁴/₃ to each side

b = 6 + ⁴/₃ = ¹⁸/₃ + ⁴/₃ = ²²/₃

The y-intercept is at (0,²²/₃).

4. Write the equation for the line

y = -⅔x + ²²/₃

The diagram shows EF in red. The parallel line in black passes through (2, 6) with a y-intercept at (0,²²/₃).

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

x=[15:-5:-25]'

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to create a vector you need to use this command:

x = [j:i:k]'

This creates a regularly-spaced vector x using i as the increment between elements. j is the initial value and k is the final value. Besides you need to add the character ' at the end in order to convert the arrow vector in a column vector

By definition, the number \pi is the ratio between the circumference and the diameter:

\pi=\dfrac{C}{d}

This implies that

C=\pi d

And so your circumference is 8\pi
