Slope of a line parallel to the x -axis is 0

y = 5 is the required equation of a line parallel to the x-axis that passes though the point (4,5)

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

Given that  a line parallel to the x-axis that passes though the point (4,5)

To find: slope of this line and equation of a line

The x -axis is a horizontal line with the equation y = 0 There are an infinite number of lines that are parallel to the x -axis, y = 0

All horizontal lines have slope of 0

If lines are parallel then they have the same slope. The slope of a line parallel to the x -axis is 0

The equation of a straight line parallel to x-axis at a distance b from it is y = b

Here "b" is the y - co-ordinate value

Here given point is (4, 5) so b = 5

The required equation is y = 5

<h3><u>Method 2:</u></h3>

We know slope "m" = 0

Given point is (4, 5)

<em><u>The slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>

y = mx + b --- eqn 1

Where "m" is the slope of line and "b" is the y - intercept

Substituting m = 0 and (x, y) = (4, 5)

5 = 0(4) + b

b = 5

Substitute b = 5  and m = 0 in eqn 1

y = 0 + 5

y = 5 is the required equation of a line parallel to the x-axis that passes though the point (4,5)

Sketch the figure: Two different isosceles triangles with perimeter 4a + b
Nikitich [7]

The two triangles with the given perimeter is attached .

Perimeter is the sum of all sides.

For the first triangle , sies are  2a,2a and b.

So the perimeter is

Perimeter = 2a+2a+b&#10;\\&#10;Perimeter = 4a+b

For the second triangle, sides are a,a, and 2a+b. Therefore perimeter is

Perimeter = a+ a + 2a+b&#10;\\&#10;Perimeter = 4a+b

So for both triangles, perimeter is

4a+b

Hey can you please help me posted picture of question
larisa [96]
(5x - 2)^2 = 15

Square root both sides:
5x - 2 = \pm\sqrt{15}

Add 2 to both sides:
5x = pm\sqrt{15} + 2

Divide both sides by 5:
x =  \dfrac{ \pm\sqrt{15} + 2}{5}

Answers:
x = \dfrac{ \sqrt{15} + 2}{5} \ or \ \dfrac{ - \sqrt{15} + 2}{5}

Answer: (B) and (E)

What is the area of the trapezoid shown below?​
Olin [163]

Answer:

78 sqr units

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to help find the base opposite the two.

The base of the second parallel line is sqrt(  (15^2) - (12^2)  ) = sqrt(81) = 9

The second base = 9 + 2 = 11

Area = (b1 + b2)*h/2

h = 12

b1 = 2

b2 = 11

h = 12

Area = (11 + 2)*12/2

Area = 13 * 12/2

Area = 78 square units
