Answer:

$y = \frac{-2}{5} x - 2$

Explanation:

The general formula of the linear equation is:

y = mx + c where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

1- getting the slope of the given line:

The given line is:

2x + 5y = 4

Rearrange to be in the general formula:

5y = -2x + 4 .............> y = $\frac{-2}{5} x + 4$

slope of the given line is : $\frac{-2}{5}$

2- getting the slope of the required line:

We are given that the two lines are parallel, this means that they have equal slopes.

Therefore:

slope of the required line = $\frac{-2}{5}$

The equation of the required line now became : y = $\frac{-2}{5}$ x + c

3- getting the value of c:

We are given that the line passes through the point (5,-4). This means that this point satisfies the equation of the line.

Therefore, we will substitute with the point in the equation and solve for c as follows:

y = $\frac{-2}{5}$ x + c

-4 = $\frac{-2}{5}$ (5) + c

-4 = -2 + c

c = -4 + 2

c = -2

Based on the above, the equation of the line is:

$y = \frac{-2}{5} x - 2$

Hope this helps :)

we know that

if two lines are parallel

then

their slopes are equal

Step 1

Find the slope of the line 2x + 5y = 4

2x + 5y = 4------> 5y=4-2x-----> y=(4/5)-(2/5)x------> slope m=(-2/5)

step 2

with m=-2/5 and the point (5, –4) find the equation of the line

y-y1=m*(x-x1)------> y+4=(-2/5)*(x-5)----> y=(-2/5)x+2-4

y=(-2/5)x-2

therefore

the answer is the option D

Answer:

mean=10.625=10.6

median=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean

The word mean, which is a homonym for multiple other words in the English language, is similarly ambiguous even in the area of mathematics. Depending on the context, whether mathematical or statistical, what is meant by the "mean" changes. In its simplest mathematical definition regarding data sets, the mean used is the arithmetic mean, also referred to as mathematical expectation, or average. In this form, the mean refers to an intermediate value between a discrete set of numbers, namely, the sum of all values in the data set, divided by the total number of values. The equation for calculating an arithmetic mean is virtually identical to that for calculating the statistical concepts of population and sample mean, with slight variations in the variables used

Median

The statistical concept of the median is a value that divides a data sample, population, or probability distribution into two halves. Finding the median essentially involves finding the value in a data sample that has a physical location between the rest of the numbers. Note that when calculating the median of a finite list of numbers, the order of the data samples is important. Conventionally, the values are listed in ascending order, but there is no real reason that listing the values in descending order would provide different results. In the case where the total number of values in a data sample is odd, the median is simply the number in the middle of the list of all values. When the data sample contains an even number of values, the median is the mean of the two middle values. While this can be confusing, simply remember that even though the median sometimes involves the computation of a mean, when this case arises, it will involve only the two middle values, while a mean involves all the values in the data sample. In the odd cases where there are only two data samples or there is an even number of samples where all the values are the same, the mean and median will be the same

Which graph represents (x,y)(x,y)left parenthesis, x, comma, y, right parenthesis-pairs that make the equation y = 2xy=2xy, equa

e-lub [12.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph has a slope of 0.5 and a y-intercept of 5

The equation is given as:

A linear equation is represented as:

Where m represents the slope, and c represents the y-intercept

So, by comparison:

m = 0.5

c = 5

This means that:

The slope is 0.5, and the y-intercept is 5

Hence, the graph of has a slope of 0.5, and a y-intercept of 5

A gumball has a diameter that is 66 mm. The diameter of the gumball's spherical hollow core is 58 mm. What is the volume of the

grigory [225]

Answer:

Volume of gumball without including its hollow core is 48347.6 cubic mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Diameter of Gumball = 66 mm

Since radius is half of diameter.

Radius of gumball = $\frac{diameter}{2}=\frac{66}{2} =33 \ mm$

Now We will first find the Volume of Gumball.

To find the Volume of Gumball we will use volume of sphere which is given as;

Volume of Sphere = $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

Now Volume of Gumball = $\frac{4}{3}\times3.14 \times (33)^3 = 150456.24 \ mm^3$

Also Given

Diameter of gumball's spherical hollow core = 58 mm

Since radius is half of diameter.

Radius of gumball's spherical hollow core = $\frac{diameter}{2}=\frac{58}{2} =29 \ mm$

Now We will find the Volume of gumball's spherical hollow core.

Volume of Sphere = $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

So Volume of gumball's spherical hollow core = $\frac{4}{3}\times3.14 \times (29)^3 = 102108.61 \ mm^3$

Now We need to find volume of the gumball without including its hollow core.

So, To find volume of the gumball without including its hollow core we would Subtract Volume of gumball spherical hollow core from Volume of Gumball.

volume of the gumball without including its hollow core = Volume of Gumball - Volume of gumball's spherical hollow core = $150456.24\ mm^3 - 102108.61\ mm^3 = 48347.63\ mm^3$
