Find the equation of a line that is parallel to y = 2x + 3 and passes through (-1, -1).
1 answer:
Answer:
y = 2x +1
Step-by-step explanation:
The given line is in "slope-intercept" form, where the slope is the coefficient of x, 2, and the intercept is the added constant, 3. The parallel line will have the same slope, but its constant will be different. We can find the constant by putting the given point into an equation with the constant as the unknown:
y = 2x + b
-1 = 2(-1) +b . . . substitute for x and y
2 -1 = b . . . . . . add 2
1 = b
So the equation for the parallel line is ...
y = 2x + 1

Answer:
1.) P = 8g + 50
2.) Find the attached file for the graph.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the profit = P
And g = good sold.
Given that each yo-yo sells for $8.00
The rate or the slope of the equation will be 8
Also, it is given that they must pay a clerk $50.00 a day to sell them. A flat rate of 50 dollars is an intercept of the equation.
Using the general linear equation of
Y = mX + C
The equation for the profit the store will make in a day will be.
P = 8g + 50
Please find the attached file for the graph
<h3>Answer:</h3>
- using y = x, the error is about 0.1812
- using y = (x -π/4 +1)/√2, the error is about 0.02620
The actual value of sin(π/3) is (√3)/2 ≈ 0.86602540.
If the sine function is approximated by y=x (no error at x = 0), then the error at x=π/3 is ...
... x -sin(x) @ x=π/3
... π/3 -(√3)/2 ≈ 0.18117215 ≈ 0.1812
You know right away this is a bad approximation, because the approximate value is π/3 ≈ 1.04719755, a value greater than 1. The range of the sine function is [-1, 1] so there will be no values greater than 1.
___
If the sine function is approximated by y=(x+1-π/4)/√2 (no error at x=π/4), then the error at x=π/3 is ...
... (x+1-π/4)/√2 -sin(x) @ x=π/3
... (π/12 +1)/√2 -(√3)/2 ≈ 0.026201500 ≈ 0.02620
