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.

Hello my name is lay lay today I am going to ask people this question if you answer this question you are my social studies part
ankoles [38]

Answer:

ok so regrouping is when the top number of a equation is like for EXAMPLE 3 minus 6 ok so 3 is lower than six so the number on the left side you cross that out and you add it to the number that was on top which would make it 13 in this case so 13 minus six is 7 and that’s regrouping

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

combine like terms:

18x + 36 = 180

18x = 180-36

18x = 144

x = 144/18

x = 8

Will the ball clear the crossbar of the goal post, which is 10 feer off the fround.
Allisa [31]

The problem gives you X, so replace X witht he given vaule and solve for y:


y = -0.1x^2 + 4X

X = 40

y = -0.1(40)^2 +4(40)

y = -0.1(1600) + 160

y = -160 + 160

y = 0

Select the correct answer.<br> Which function is the inverse of function<br> f(x) = -2
Artemon [7]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

let f(x) = y and rearrange making x the subject

y = \frac{x+2}{7} ( multiply both sides by 7 to clear the fraction )

7y = x + 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

7y - 2 = x

Change y back into terms of x with x the inverse function, that is

p(x) = 7x - 2
