Slope-intercept form:  y = mx + b

(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)

For lines to be parallel, they need to have the same slope.

To find the slope (m), use the slope formula:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}      And plug in the two points

(-2, 7) = (x₁, y₁)

(4, -5) = (x₂, y₂)

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{-5-7}{4-(-2)}   (two negative signs cancel each other out and become positive)

m=\frac{-5-7}{4+2}

m=\frac{-12}{6}     Simplify the fraction

m = -2        

The slope is -2, so the parallel line's slope is also -2.

Your answer is C

What is the volume of a hemisphere with a diameter of 45.7 m, rounded to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter?
worty [1.4K]

24987.2 meters cubed.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Hemisphere is 1/2 of a sphere, so let's find the volume of a sphere and then cut it in half.

The volume of a sphere is V= (4/3)πr3

The diameter is double the size of the radius, so we can find r, the radius, by dividing the diameter,

45.7m, by 2. So r = 22.85 meters

so the volume of the sphere is (4/3)π(22.85 meters)3, which is 49974.35787 meters cubed.

Since we're actually looking for the Hemisphere, we can divide this volume in half to get the volume of the hemisphere as 24987.17894 meters cubed.

And because the answer must be to 1/10th of a cubic meter, that means we only want one decimal point. So we round to 24987.2 meters cubed.

Solve for 2x^2-4x+5=6
Softa [21]
To solve for a variable, you need to get it (x) by itself.

2x² - 4x + 5 = 6   Subtract 6 from both sides
2x² - 4x - 1 = 0   Plug this into the Quadratic Formula

a = 2 , b = -4 , c = -1
x = \frac{-b \pm  \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}   Plug in your values
x = \frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{(-4)^2 - 4(2)(-1)} }{2(2)}   Simplify
x = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16 + 8} }{4}   Simplify
x = \frac{4 \pm 2\sqrt{6} }{4}   Simplify by removing a 2 from every term
x = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{6} }{2}   Simplify by taking the fraction apart
x = \frac{2}{2}  \pm  \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{2}   Change \frac{2}{2} to 1
x = 1 \pm  \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{2}   Simplify \frac{ \sqrt{6} }{2} to \sqrt{ \frac{3}{2} }
x = 1 \pm \sqrt{ \frac{3}{2} }
