<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.

Please help me with this soon much appreciated.
NeX [460]

Answer:

1 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a 30-60-90 triangle which is a special right triangle. the ratio of the sides is x: x*sqrt(3): 2x, in the order short leg: long leg: hypotenuse. so the ratio of the short leg to the hypotenuse is x:2x or 1:2

Given the following functions, find and simplify (f • g)(x) f(x)=—x+3 g(x)=-x-1
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

(f\circ g)(x)= x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Composite Function</u>

Given f(x) and g(x) as real functions, the composite function (f\circ g)(x) is defined as:

(f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x))

It can be found by substituting g into f.

We are given the functions:

f(x) = -x + 3

g(x) = -x -1

Find

(f\circ g)(x)=f(g(x))= - (-x -1) + 3

Removing parentheses:

(f\circ g)(x)= x + 1 + 3

Simplifying:

\mathbf{(f\circ g)(x)= x + 4}
