Answer: -2/5

Step-by-step explanation: the slope of a line is the one that describes the direction and inclination of that line. When two lines are parallel, it means that they have the same slope. To determine the slope of a line, we need to isolate "y" and the slope will be the number that is with the "x," the procedure is shown as follow:

5y+2x=12

isolating y:

5y=12-2x

y=(12-2x)/5

the number that is with the "x" is -2/5 so that is the slope.

How do I solve the equation in an interval from 0 to 2π ? 9 cos 2t = 6

Ivahew [28]

$9\cos(2t)=6\implies\cos(2t)=\dfrac23$

Using the fact that cos is 2π-periodic, we have

$\cos(2t)=\dfrac23\implies2t=\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac23\right)+2n\pi$

That is, $\cos(\theta+2n\pi)=\cos\theta$ for any $\theta$ and integer $n$ .

$\implies t=\dfrac12\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac23\right)+n\pi$

We get 2 solutions in the interval [0, 2π] for $n=0$ and $n=1$ ,

$t=\dfrac12\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac23\right)\text{ and }t=\dfrac12\cos^{-1}\left(\dfrac23\right)+\pi$

What is the best estimate of 687 × 391? 280,000 210,000 240,000 180,000

ra1l [238]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimating a sum by rounding to get the best estimate is the goal of this lesson. Notice that we try to estimate. We don't need to have an exact answer!

Notice that for numbers with two digits, there can only be one estimate because you can only round to the tens place.

Estimate the following sums: 36 + 21, 74 + 15, and 85 + 24

36 + 21 = 40 + 20 = 60

74 + 15 = 70 + 20 = 90

charlie had a circular patio with a radius of 6 feet. the radius is 12 bricks in length. how many bricks would be in the diamete

alex41 [277]

Answer:

24 Bricks.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the radius is 6 feet and that the diameter is twice that.

We also know the radius is 12 'bricks' in length.

If we divide both numbers by 12, we get that 1 'brick' is half a foot.

Since that's the radius and we want the diameter, we multiply the radius by 2 to get the diameter.

This results in 12 feet, or 24 'bricks'.
