Answer:

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

To find the equation of the parallel line we must first find the slope of the original line

From the question the original line is

y=1/4x+5

Comparing with the general equation above

Slope = 1/4

Since the lines are parallel their slope are also the same

Slope of parallel line = 1/4

So the equation of the line using point

(2,-9) and slope 1/4 is

We have the final answer as

The distance between two points is 6_/6.One endpoint is (4,-1). It is known that the y-coordinate of the other endpoint is 9.

babunello [35]

The x-coordinate of the given endpoint will be " $x = 4 \pm 2\sqrt{29}$ ".

According to the question,

The end points are:

$(x_1,y_1) = (4,-1)$
$(x_2, y_2) = (x,9)$

Distance,

$6\sqrt{6}$

As we know,

The distance formula,

→ $Distance = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

By substituting the values, we get

→ $6\sqrt{6} = \sqrt{(x-4)^2+(9+1)^2}$

→ $216= (x-4)^2+100$

→ $(x-4)^2 = 116$

→ $x-4 = \pm \sqrt{116}$

→ $x-4=\pm 2\sqrt{29}$

→ $x = 4 \pm 2\sqrt{29}$

Thus the above answer is right.

a street light is at the top of a 18 ft tall pole. a woman 6 ft tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 4 ft/sec along a s

shutvik [7]

The most appropriate choice for similarity of triangles will be given by -

Speed of tip of the shadow of woman = 6 ft/s

What are similar triangles?

Two triangles are said to be similar, if the corrosponding angles of the triangles are same and the corrosponding sides of the triangles are in the same ratio.

Here,

The diagram has been attached here

Let the distance of woman from the pole be x ft and the distance of tip of the shadow to the pole be y ft.

Height of street light = 18 ft

Height of woman = 6ft

The two triangles are similar [As height of woman is parallel to the height of pole]

$\frac{y - x}{6}=\frac{y}{18}\\18y - 18x = 6y\\18y - 6y = 18x\\12y = 18x\\y = \frac{18}{12}x\\y = \frac{3}{2}x\\$

To find the speed, we have to differentiate both sides with respect to time 't'

$\frac{dy}{dt} =\frac{3}{2}\frac{dx}{dt}\\\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{3}{2} \times 4\\\frac{dy}{dt} = 6$

Speed of tip of her shadow = 6 ft

$290, 12.5%, 6 months

Veronika [31]

The information shown here only shows a principal sum, a rate of interest and a period or time. There is no question as to what is needed. But suppose the need is for simple interest, then we calculate using the given information and the formula: I = PRT where I is simple interest, P is the principal, R is the rate per year, and T is time P = 290, T is 6 months which is 0.5 years, R = 12.5 % which is written as 0.125 in decimal fraction. I = 290 × 0.125 x 0.5 → I = 18.125 Therefore after 6 months , the interest earned will be 18. 125 dollars
