Write the equation of the line that passes through (4,2) and is parallel to the line y=2x-1

Answer: y = 2x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

So we need to write the equation of a line parallel to y=2x-1.

In parallel lines, the slope is the same, so in our new line the slope will be 2x.

We have the equation y = 2x right now. Let's plug in (4,2) for (x,y) and see if it works out, since it must pass through that point.  

y = 2x

2 = 2 * 4

2 doesn't equal 8.  

But if we subtract 6 from the right side of the equation -

y = 2x-6

then it checks out

2 = 2 (4) - 6

2 = 8 - 6

2 = 2

Answer: y=2x-6

Let’s first rewrite the equation given

y=2x-1

we know that the equation we need to make is parallel to this, which tells us that it will have the same slope.

Our new equation so far is:

y=2x+b

This is because we know the slope, but not the y-intercept. Let’s find this now but substituting the point into this equation

2=2(4)+b

*multiply 2 and 4*

2=8+b

*subtract 8 on both sides*

2=8+b
-8 -8
_____
-6=b

Let’s substitute this into where we had b previously, and finish our equation

y=2x-6

In a right triangle one leg measures a quarter of the other, how much do its acute angles measure? with procedure please​
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 14° and 76°

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

leg 1 = x

leg 2 = x/4

angle 1 = ?

angle 2 = ?

Process

To solve problem use trigonometric functions. We must use the trigonometric function that relates both legs (tangent).

    tangent Ф = Opposite side / Adjacent side

-Substitution

    tan Ф = (x/4) / x

-Simplification

    tan Ф = x / 4x

    tan Ф = 1/4

-  Find Ф

     Ф = tan⁻¹(1/4) =  14°

- Find the other acute angle

  The sum of the internal angles in a triangles equals 180°

       Ф + Ф₁ + 90° = 180

-Solve for Ф₁

        Ф₁  = 180 - 90 - 14

-Result

        Ф₁ = 76°

Write an equation of the line. Express the answer using either the general form or the​ slope-intercept form of the equation of
Georgia [21]

Answer:

y = x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard equation of a line is y = mx+b

m is the slope

b is the y intercept

Get the slope

Using the coordinate points (4, 0) and (0, -4)

m = -4-0/0-4

m = -4/-4

m = 1

Since the line cuts the y axis at y = -4, the y-intercept b = -4

Get the equation;

Since y = mx+b

y = 1x + (-4)

y = x - 4

This gives the required equation
