Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (0, -2) and is parallel to a line that goes through the points (4, 0)

and (0, 3)

Answer:

y = (-3/4)x -2

or: y = -0.75x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope of the line that it parallel to. Using equation

slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1),

slope of line that passes through points (4, 0) and (0, 3)

= (3 - 0) /( 0-4)

= -3/4

Since the lines are parallel, both of them have the same slope, which is -3/4.

The point (0, -2) is actually the point of y -intercept (c) of the new line, so we can simply use the slope-intercept form to find the equation of line.

y = mx + c

y = (-3/4)x + (-2)

y = (-3/4)x -2

I don’t really understand what to do on these questions and could you tell me the ratio to solve the rest?
SVEN [57.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming 10 cups of lemon-lime soda and 5 cups of orange soda make 15 cups of punch, we can write proportions for each problem.

x / 130 cups punch = 10 cups lemon-lime / 15 cups punch

x = 86.67 cups lemon-lime soda

y / 130 cups punch = 5 cups orange soda / 15 cups punch

y = 43.33 cups orange soda

x / 65 cups punch = 10 cups lemon-lime / 15 cups punch

x = 43.33 cups lemon-lime soda

y / 65 cups punch = 5 cups orange soda / 15 cups punch

y = 21.67 cups orange soda

x / 195 cups punch = 10 cups lemon-lime / 15 cups punch

x = 130 cups lemon-lime soda

y / 195 cups punch = 5 cups orange soda / 15 cups punch

y = 65 cups orange soda

a rectangular prism has a volume of 810 cubic meters. it has a length of 10 meters and a width of 9 meters. What is the height o
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The height of the prism is 9 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets describe the rectangular prism

- The rectangular prism has six rectangular faces

- Two of them are bases and the other four are side faces

- The rectangular prism has three dimensions length, width , height

- The volume of any prism = Area of the base × its height

∵ The base of the rectangular prism is a rectangle

∵ Area any rectangle = length × width

∴ The volume of the rectangular prism V = length × width × height

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The volume of the prism is 810 meter³

∵ Its length is 10 meter

∵ Its width is 9 meters

∵ V = length × width × height

- Substitute the values of the volume , the length and the width in

 the equation of V

∴ 810 = 10 × 9 × h

∴ 810 = 90 × h

- Divide both sides by 90

∴ 9 = h

∴ The height of the prism is 9 meters

A box has 11 marbles, 3 of which are white and 8 of which are red. A sample of 4 marbles are selected randomly from the box with
aliina [53]

14/99

Select 1 marble; the chance that it is white is 4/12. Select a 2nd marble; the chance that it is white is 3/11. Select a 3rd; the chance it is white is 2/10. Select a 4th; the chance it is red is 8/9. Select a 5th; the chance it is red is 7/8. The chance of getting this specific set of 5 marbles in this order is (4/12)×(3/11)×(2/10)×(8/9)×(7/8)=(2×7)/(11×10×9).

This specific set could occur in the permutation of 5 things taken 5 at a time where 3 are identical (white), and the other 2 are also identical (red). The formula for this is 5!/(3!2!)=10.

Combining the chance of getting white, white, white, red, red with the number of ways 3 white and 2 red could have been distributed in the draw of 5 marbles gives the answer:

{(2×7)/(11×10×9)}×10=14/99

A similar process will show that the chance of getting 5 red marbles is 7/99; 4 white and 1 red is 1/99; 2 white and 3 red is 42/99; and 1 white and 4 red is 35/99.

If graphed in the plane, would the line y=5x-2 pass through the point (4,15)
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

no

Step-by-step explanation:

Using substitution, subs in the points given

(15) = 5(4) - 2

15 = 20 - 2

Because the 2 sides are NOT equal the line would not pass through the point
