Answer:

The parallel line would be y = -x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the parallel line, we must first start with the slope. The slope of parallel lines must be equal. The first line has a slope of -1. Using this and the new point in slope intercept form, we can solve for the intercept.

y = mx + b

2 = -1(-8) + b

2 = 8 + b

-6 = b

Now we can model the equation using that slope and the intercept.

y = -x - 6

The touchdown to fumble ratio for Bobby Boucher was 9:2 If Bobby ran for 18 touchdowns,

Vika [28.1K]

Answer: He had 14 more touchdowns than he did fumbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Ok, so we need to see how many times 9 will divide into 18.

18/9=2.

Step 2. So now that we know that 9 goes into 18 two times and we know he has two fumbles for every 9 touchdowns we can multiply 2 by 2 to find out how man fumbles he had.

2*2=4

Step 3. Now to find out how many more touchdowns than fumbles he had we need to subtract his fumbles from his touchdowns.

18-4= 14. So, now we know he had 14 more touchdowns than he did fumbles.

Hope this helps!

Simple proportions.

You want a 1:5 ratio.
You have a 5:1 ratio.
So you add another 24 drops of white.
5:25 = 1:5
or
5/x = 1/5 and cross multiply.

Triangle XYZ was dilated by a scale factor of 2 to create triangle ACB and cos ∠X = 2.5 over 5 and 59 hundredths. Triangles XYZ

adell [148]

Dilation involves changing the size of a shape

<h3>How to determine the relationship between the trigonometry ratios</h3>

From the question, we understand that:

The dilation of triangle XYZ gives triangle ACB

This means that, the following are corresponding points

Points X and A
Points Y and C
Points Z and B

The above means that:

The relationships between the trigonometry ratios of both triangles are:

cos(X) = cos(A), cos(Y) = cos(C) and cos(Z) = cos(B)

<h3>How to determine the measures of segments AC and AB</h3>

In (a), segments XY and XZ corresponds to the segments AC and AB

So, the product of the lengths of XY and XZ and the scale factor will result in the lengths of AC and AB,

i.e.

AC = 2 * XY and AB = 2 * XZ
