The equation is \boxed{ \ y = - 5x + 12 \ or \ y = 12 - 5x} \ }

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

This case asking the end result in the form of a slope-intercept.

<u>Step-1: find out the gradient. </u>

10x + 2y = -2

We isolate the y variable on the left side. Subtract both sides by 10x, we get:

2y = - 10x - 2  

Divide both sides by two

y = -5x -1

The slope-intercept form is \boxed{ \ y = mx + c \ }, with the coefficient m as a gradient. Therefore, the gradient is m = -5.

If you want a shortcut to find a gradient from the standard form, implement this:  

\boxed{ \ ax + by = k \rightarrow m = - \frac{a}{b} \ }

10x + 2y = −2 ⇒ a = 10, b = 2

\boxed{m = - \frac{10}{2} \rightarrow m = -5}

<u>Step-2:</u> the conditions of the two parallel lines

The gradient of parallel lines is the same \boxed{ \ m_1 = m_2 \ }. So \boxed{m_1 = m_2 = -5}.

<u>Final step:</u> figure out the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the parallel line to the given line and passes through the point (0, 12)

We use the point-slope form.

\boxed{ \ \boxed{ \ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)} \ }

Given that

  • m = -5
  • (x₁, y₁) = (0, 12)  

y - 12 = - 5(x - 0)

y - 12 = - 5x

After adding both sides by 12, the results is \boxed{ \ y = - 5x + 12 \ or \ y = 12 - 5x} \ }

<u>Alternative steps </u>

Substitutes m = -5 and (0, 12) to slope-intercept form \boxed{ \ y = mx + c \ }

12 = -5(0) + c

Constant c is 12 then arrange the slope-intercept form.

Similar results as above, i.e. \boxed{ \ y = - 5x + 12 \ or \ y = 12 - 5x} \ }

<u>Note: </u>

\boxed{Standard \ form: ax + by = c, with \ a > 0}

\boxed{Point-slope \ form: y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)}

\boxed{Slope-intercept \ form: y = mx + k}

A superhero recently asked his nemesis how many cats she has. she answered with a riddle: "seven eights" of my cats plus two" ho
ryzh [129]
<span>If the nemesis has "7/8 of her cats plus 2" it can be written like this: 7/8 x + 2 = x, where x is the number of the cats. After that we can solve the equation. x - 7/8 x = 2; 1/8 x = 2; x = 2 : 1/8 = 2 * 8 = 16. Answer: The nemesis has 16 cats.</span>

Write an explicit formula for an,the Nth term of the sequence 4,12,36
Rudik [331]

Answer:

3^{n}+3^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sequence is geometric (it multiplies the previous number each time). The nth term sequence would be x^n + yn

Because the sequence multiplies by 3 each time, The base number in that equation would be 3^n +yn.

So 3^n of the equation would be:
3, 9, 27.

Compare the 2 equations:
4, 12, 36

3, 9 ,27

The difference between the 2 equations is: 1, 3, 9 which itself is a geometric sequence so the nth term of this new equation is: 3^{n-1}.

Combine these 2 equations together and you get:

3^{n}+3^{n-1}.
