Answer:

y = \dfrac{1}{2}x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + b

We need to find the slope, m, and the y-intercept, b.

The line we need is perpendicular to the line 2x + y = 8.

<em>The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.</em>

We solve the given equation for y to find the slope of the given line.

2x + y = 8

y = -2x + 8

The given line has slope -2.

The negative reciprocal of -2 is 1/2.

Our line has slope, m = 1/2.

Now we have

y = 1/2 x + b

Now we use the given point, (-2, 3), for x and y, using x = -2, and y = 3, and we solve for b.

y = 1/2 x + b

3 = 1/2 * (-2) + b

3 = -1 + b

4 = b

b = 4

Now we have

y = 1/2 x + 4

Answer: y = \dfrac{1}{2}x + 4

janet obtained 32% for her statistics test, which was out of a total of 300 marks. how much should she score in the computer sci
vesna_86 [32]

Her score in computer to get a proportionally weighted average of 46% will be 134.

The total score for both subjects = 200 + 300 = 500

Since the proportionally weighted average is 46%, then her score will be:

= 46% × 500

= 0.46 × 500

= 230

Since she had 32% for her statistics test, which was out of a total of 300. Her score will be:

= 32% × 300

= 0.32 × 300

= 96

Therefore, her score in computer will be:

= 230 - 96

= 134

The expression for the distance from the 1st base to the 3rd base in terms of side length will be c=x√2

Given that the softball diamond is square in shape.

Let the side of the square i.e. distance between consecutive bases is x

The distance from the 1st base to the 3rd base creates the hypotenuse of a right triangle, where each side is equal to x i.e. x is the side length of the square formed by the baseball diamond.  

Using the Pythagorean theorem we have:

x² +x²= c²,

where c is the distance from the 1st base to the 3rd base.

Combining similar terms gives us

2x²=c²

Taking the square root of both sides we have

√2x²= √c²

⇒x√2=c

⇒c=x√2

This is the expression for the distance from the 1st base to the 3rd base in terms of side length.

Therefore the expression for the distance from the 1st base to the 3rd base in terms of side length will be c=x√2.

Help me pls math genius
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

x = -3

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

in the given question :-

=》x - 4y = 1

=》x = 4y + 1

now replacing the value of x as ( 4y + 1 ) in equation (2)

=》3x + 2y = -11

=》3 (4y + 1) + 2y = -11

=》12y + 3 + 2y = -11

=》14y = -11 - 3

=》y = -14 ÷ 14

=》y = -1

now, putting the value of y in equation (1)

=》x - 4y = 1

=》x - ( 4 × -1 ) = 1

=》x + 4 = 1

=》x = 1 - 4

=》x = -3
