Answer:
y=-3/2x+6
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the slope by taking two points on the graph, and making the one that occurs earlier in the graph (from left to right) the first point (x1, y1) and the one that occurs later in the graph the second point (x2, y2). The equation is m (or slope)=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). I took the first two points in the table for this. m=(12-18)/-4-(-8)
the double negative on the bottom becomes an addition=> (12-18)/(-4+8)
the top simplifies to be -6 and the bottom simplifies to 4=>-6/4
this fraction can be reduced to -3/2, which is the slope of the graph.
Now, use point slope form (y-y1=m(x-x1)) to find the equation of the graph. Plug any coordinate on the graph in for x1 and y1 here. It should be correct as long as it is a point on the graph, but I am using the point (-8, 18) here.
=>y-18=-3/2(x-(-8))
the double negative in the parentheses becomes a positive=> y-18=-3/2(x+8)
distribute the -3/2 to every term in the parentheses=> y-18=-3/2x-12
add 18 to both sides, cancelling out the -18 on the left side of the equation=>y=-3/2x+6 (-12+18=6 to get 6 for b).
Therefore, the equation is y=-3/2x+6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1:y=426x+4298
y=223x+6129
Part 2: x=9.020 (x is the number of months and y is the miles)
Part 3: y=8140.394, or 8,140 since it's rounding to the nearest mile
Answer:
Option C: y=-1/2x + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the options:
A) y=2x+5
B) y=-1/2x+4
C)y=-1/2x+8
D)y=-2x+5
But first let's define what parallel even is. When two lines are parallel it means that there slope is the same value and the same sign, while there y-intercepts are different, because if they were the same, then they wouldn't be parallel, they would just be the same exact line.
So we're given the equation in standard form. To find the slope we can change it so it's in the form of y=mx+b. This can be done by simply isolating y. The reason we want it in the slope-intercept form is because m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept. m is the slope because as x increases by 1 the y-value will increase by m. So the "rise" will be m and the "run" will be 1, thus the slope will be m/1 or in other words m because the slope is defined as rise/run. So let's start the steps to isolating y
Original equation
2x+4y=16
Subtract 2x from both sides
4y=-2x+16
Divide both sides by 4
y = -1/2x + 4
Here we have it in slope-intercept form. In this case the slope, or m, is -1/2 and the y-intercept or b is 4. So now let's look at the other equations.
Option A: This equation has a slope of 2, which is not the same as -1/2 so it is not parallel
Option B: This equation has a slope of -1/2 which is the same as -1/2 so it might be parallel. But look at the y-intercept it's 4, that's the same y-intercept as the original equation. This means the two equations are equal and not parallel
Option C: This equation has a slope of -1/2 which is the same as -1/2 so it might be parallel. It has a y-intercept of 8 which is not the same as 4, so the two lines are parallel and not equal! This is the answer
The height of the ceiling is 162.31 meters
The situation will form a right angle triangle.
<h3>Right angle triangle:</h3>
Right triangle has one of its angles as 90 degree. Therefore, the sides can be found using trigonometric ratios
The triangle formed, the theodolite distance from the spotlight is the adjacent side. Therefore,
tan 62.7 = opposite / adjacent
tan 62.7 = x / 83
cross multiply
x = 83 × tan 62.7
x = 160.809554025 m
Therefore, the height of the ceiling form the ground is as follows:
- 160.809554025 + 1.5 = 162.309554025 m
