Two lines are represented by the equations -1/2y=6x+10 and y=mx for which value of m will the lines be parallel

Mathematics

Answer:

-12

Step-by-step explanation:

So to start we need to know what makes a line parallel. In an equation we know that for lines to be parallel they must have the same slope(m).

Then, we  need to know the slope-intercept form of an equation. The slope intercept form is y=mx+b where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. In this problem where can see the second equation is already in this form.

Now that we know we need to find the slope, and we know that the second equation is in slope-intercept form we're going to convert the fist equation into the correct form.

To do this, we know we need to make sure y is the only thing on the left side of the equal sign. Currently, on the left side of the equal sign we have -\frac{1}{2} y so we have to divide both sides by -\frac{1}{2} to get y=-12x -20

Now that we have it converted to slope-intercept form, we are going to look for what represents the slope or m in the equation. In this case the slope would be -12, so any line with a slope of -12 will be parallel.

An electronics store received two shipments of radios. Of the 250 radios in the first shipment, exactly 6% were damaged. In the
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Total number of not damaged = 451

C. 451

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first shipment, 6% of the 250 radios where damaged.

Number of damaged= 6/100 * 250

Number of damaged= 6*2.5

Number of damaged= 15 radios.

Number of not damaged= 250-15

Number of not damaged = 235 radios

In the second shipment, 4% of the radios were damaged

Let the number of second shipment= y

0.04 of y where damaged

Total number of radio damaged= 24

15 + 0.04y = 24

0.04y= 24-15

0.04y = 9

Y= 9/0.04

Y= 225

Number of radio in the second shipment= 225

Number of damaged in the second shipment= 0.04*225

Number of damaged in the second shipment= 9

Number of not damaged in the second shipment= 225-9

Number of damaged in the second shipment= 216

Total number of not damaged

= 235+216

= 451

Total number of not damaged= 451

Use Euler’s Formula to find the missing number.<br> Edges: 37<br> Faces: 25<br> Vertices: ?
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

The formula that relates edges faces and vertices is  F + V = E + 2

Givens

Edges (E): 37

Faces (F) = 25

Vertices: x

Solution

25 + x = 37 + 2                Subtract 25 from both sides.

25-25 +x= 37 - 25 + 2    Combine

x = 12 + 2

x = 14

Answer: The vertices =<u> 14</u>

The sum of four consecutive numbers is 42 what is the smallest number
vredina [299]
Let us take a number x
The four consecutive numbers will be
x+1, x+2, x+3

Thus our equation will be
x + x+1 + x+2 + x+3 = 42
4x + 6 = 42
4x = 36
x= 36/4
x= 9

Thus the four numbers are (substitute)
x=9
x+1=9+1=10
x+2=9+2=11
x+3=9+3=12
