Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(2,1), (-2,-1)

slope(m) = (-1-1) / (-2 - 2) = -2/-4 = 1/2

parallel lines will have the same slope

y = mx + b

slope(m) = 1/2

(-4,8)...x = -4 and y = 8

now sub and find b, the y int

8 = 1/2(-4) + b

8 = -2 + b

8 + 2 = b

10 = b

so ur equation is : y = 1/2x + 10 <==

Answer:

\displaystyle x - 2y = -20\:OR\:y = \frac{1}{2}x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the <em>rate of</em><em> </em><em>change</em><em> </em>[<em>slope</em>]:

\displaystyle \frac{-y_1 + y_2}{-x_1 + x_2} = m \\ \\ \frac{-1 - 1}{-2 - 2} = \frac{-2}{-4} = \frac{1}{2}

Now plug [−4, 8] into the Slope-Intercept Formula instead of the <em>Point-Slope</em><em> </em><em>Formula</em><em> </em>because you get it done much more swiftly:

8 = ½[−4] + b

−2

\displaystyle 10 = b \\ \\ y = \frac{1}{2}x + 10

If you want it in <em>Standard</em><em> </em><em>Form</em>:

y = ½x + 10

- ½x - ½x

__________

−½x + y = 10 [We do not want fractions in our standard equation, so multiply by the denominator to get rid of it.]

−2[−½x + y = 10]

\displaystyle x - 2y = -20

Tony separates a number of paintbrushes, x, into 3 equally sized groups. He claims that this is the same as making a group 1/3 t
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Size of each group = \frac{x}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of paint brushes = x

Since each the three groups are equally sized, to get the number of paintbrushes in a group, we will have to divide the total number of paint brushes by 3

∴ We have, number of paint brushes in a group = \frac{Total number of paintbrushes}{3}\\

= \frac{x}{3}

this is also the same thing as saying \frac{1}{3}×\frac{x}{1}

This shows that the size of the new group is the same as \frac{1}{3} the size of the original group
