<u>ANSWER:  </u>

The equation of the line passing through the point (8,-6) and parallel to line with slope -2 is 2x + y -10 = 0.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, a line is passing through the point (8, −6) and is parallel to another line, whose slope is −2

We need to find the equation of the line.

We know that, parallel lines will have same slope.

So slope of the required line is -2.

Now, we have a point on the line and slope of the line, so we can use point – slope form to find the line equation.

Point slope form is given as

y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)

Where "m" is the slope and \left(\mathrm{x}_{1}, \mathrm{y}_{1}\right) is a point on that line.

Here, \mathrm{m}=-2, \mathrm{x}_{1}=8 \text { and } \mathrm{y}_{1}=-6

Now, substitute values in point slope form.

y – (-6) = -2(x – 8)

y + 6 = -2x - 2(-8)

y + 6 = -2x + 16

2x + y +6 -16 = 0

2x + y -10 = 0

Hence, the equation of the line is 2x + y -10 = 0.

The length of a swimming pool is 4 feet longer than 2 times its width. If the perimeter of the pool is 128 feet, what is the wid
alexandr1967 [171]
P = 2(L + W)
P = 128
L = 2W + 4

128 = 2(2W + 4 + W)
128 = 2(3W + 4)
128 = 6W + 8
128 - 8 = 6W
120 = 6W
120/6 = W
20 = W <=== width is 20 ft

L = 2W + 4
L = 2(20) + 4
L = 40 + 4
L = 44 <=== length is 44 ft
