Equation of line passing through (2, -2) and parallel to 2x+3y = -8 is y=\frac{-2 x}{3}+\frac{-2}{3}

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Need to write equation of line parallel to 2x+3y=-8 and passes through the point (2, -2)

Generic slope intercept form of a line is given by y = mx + c

where "m" = slope of the line and "c" is the y - intercept

Let’s first find slope intercept form of 2x+3y=-8 to get slope of line

\begin{array}{l}{2 x+3 y=-8} \\\\ {=>y=\frac{-2 x-8}{3}} \\\\ {\Rightarrow y=-\frac{2}{3} x-\frac{8}{3}}\end{array}

On comparing above slope intercept form of given equation with generic slope intercept form y = mx + c,

\text {for line } 2 x+3 y=-8, \text { slope } m=-\frac{2}{3}

We know that slopes of parallel lines are always equal

So the slope of line passing through (2, -2) is also m=-\frac{2}{3}

Equation of line passing through (x_1 , y_1) and having slope of m is given by

\left(y-y_{1}\right)=\mathrm{m}\left(x-x_{1}\right)

\text { In our case } x_{1}=2 \text { and } y_{1}=-2

Substituting the values in equation of line we get

(y-(-2))=-\frac{2}{3}(x-2)

\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow y+2=\frac{-2 x+4}{3}} \\\\ {=>3(y+2)=-2 x+4} \\\\ {=>3 y+6=-2 x+4} \\\\ {3 y=-2 x-2}\end{array}

y=\frac{-2 x}{3}+\frac{-2}{3}

Hence equation of line passing through (2 , -2) and parallel to 2x + 3y = -8 is given as y=\frac{-2 x}{3}+\frac{-2}{3}

A can contained 5.5 ounces of tuna. Joey used 2.88 ounces of the tuna to make a sandwich. To find the amount of tuna remaining i
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

A full can of tuna has a certain amount in it, if a portion is removed from the can it is therefore subtracted from the total amount. This means that Joey's work is correct and the tuna can would have

5.5 oz - 2.88 oz = 2.62 oz

The best way to tell if his work is correct would be to weigh the remaining tuna in the can and see if it matches Joey's answer.

Please help me with this translating trigonometry graphs question. Brainliest and Points Available.
andreev551 [17]

According with the definition of translation, we conclude that the equations of graphs M and N are m(x) = f(x - 5) and n(x) = f(x) - 2, respectively.

<h3>How to apply translations on a given function</h3>

<em>Rigid</em> transformations are transformation such that the <em>Euclidean</em> distance of every point of a function is conserved. Translations are a kind of <em>rigid</em> transformations and there are two basic forms of translations:

Horizontal translation

g(x) = f(x - k), k ∈ \mathbb {R}     (1)

Where the translation goes <em>rightwards</em> for k > 0.

Vertical translation

g(x) = f(x) + k, k ∈ \mathbb {R}     (2)

Where the translation goes <em>upwards</em> for k > 0.

According with the definition of translation, we conclude that the equations of graphs M and N are m(x) = f(x - 5) and n(x) = f(x) - 2, respectively.

Answer:

if it's area the area would be the length of the diameter of the semi circle which is the height of the triangle multiplied by the base of the triangle to find the area of the triangle then to find the area of the circle would be pie multiplied by the diameter divided by two squared

\pi \   \times 7 {}^{2}

then the total area would be the area of the triangle plus the area of the half circle
