Give the equation of the line that is parallel to y=-3x+1 and goes through (-5,-6)

1 answer:

8 0

Hi there! The answer is y = -3x - 21

Let's set up the equation of the line step by step! First we need to know that we need to set up an equation in slope-intercept form. We get the following:

y = ax + b.
a represents the slope of the line.
b represents the intercept with the y-axis.

Since our new line is parallel to y = -3x + 1, both lines have the same slope. Therefore the slope of our line, which is represented by a, is -3.

y = -3x + b.
We also know that this line goes through the point (-5, -6) and therefore we can plug in these coordinates into our formula.

-6 = -3 × -5 + b
Simplify

-6 = 15 + b
Subtract 15

-21 = b
Switch sides

b = -21
Hence, y = -3x - 21

~ Hope this helps you!

Select all the statements that are true

masya89 [10]

Answer:

Options 2, 4 and 6 are True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle MNO is dilated by a scale factor of $\frac{3}{2}$ centered at M(0, 6).

Rule to be followed to dilate the vertices of the given triangle,

(x, y) → (kx, ky)

Here, k = scale factor

By this rule vertices of the new triangle M'N'O' will be,

M(0, 6) → M'(0, 6) [Coordinates of M' will remain same as M because center of dilation is point M]

N(-4, -4) → N'(-6, -6)

O(6, -2) → O'(9, -3)

Option 1

M'N' is shorter than MN

Distance between M and N = $\sqrt{(0+4)^2+(6+4)^2}$

= 10.77

Distance between M' and N' = $\sqrt{(0+6)^2+(6+6)^2}$

= 13.42

Therefore M'N' > MN

Therefore, Option A is False.

Option 2

ON is shorter than O'N'

True.

Option 3

OM is longer than O'M'

False

Option 4

ON is parallel to O'N'

Since OM and MN are dilated with the same scale factor, O'N' will be parallel to ON.

True.

Option 5

OM is parallel than O'M'

Since, O'M' is the dilated form of OM,

Therefore, all the points (O, M and M') will be in a straight line.

False

Option 6

M'N' coincide with MN

True.

Therefore, Options 2, 4 and 6 are True.

Graph 3(8-4x)<6(x-5)

Zinaida [17]

First simplify this inequality:

$3(8-4x)$

Now you can graph this inequality. Draw the vertical dashed line x=3 and shade the region to the right from this line. This is exactly the region that represents the solution of inequality (see attached diagram for details).
