Answer:

The equation of the line would be y = -5/2x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation of the line, we first need to find the slope of the original line. We can do that by solving for y.

5x + 2y = 12

2y = -5x + 12

y = -5/2x + 6

Now that we have a slope of -5/2, we know the new slope will be the same since parallel lines have the same slope. So we can use it along with the point in point-slope form to find the equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = -5/2(x + 2)

y - 4 = -5/2x - 5

y = -5/2x - 1

2) Which of the following represents an equation of a line parallel to one whose equation is 2y + 8x = 18?

Reika [66]

Parallel has the same slope
2y + 8x = 18
Make it slope in form: y = mx + b
Divide the equation by 2
y + 4x = 9
Now subtract 4x
Y = -4x + 9
The slope is -4
Which equation also has same slope?

Solution: A

Yanka [14]

Answer:

11.29.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that The mean length of six-year-old rainbow trout in the Arolik River in Alaska is 478 millimeters with a standard deviation of 38 millimeters.

We are also given that these lengths are normally distributed.

So, The highest value is at mean .(Refer the attached figure).

Formula : $Percentile = \frac{Length}{Maximum} \times 100$
