I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. <span>Two lines are perpendicular, and neither line is horizontal so it must be that the slopes of the lines are opposite reciprocals, one slope is positive and the other has a negative slope. Having different slopes so they should intersect the y-axis at different values.</span>

What is the equation of a line that passes through the point (8, −2) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 3x + 4y = 15?

Dafna1 [17]

Step 1

<u>Find the slope of the given line</u>

we have

$3x+4y=15$

Isolate the variable y

Subtract $3x$ both sides

$3x+4y-3x=15-3x$

$4y=-3x+15$

Divide by $4$ both sides

$y=-\frac{3}{4}x+ \frac{15}{4}$

the slope of the given line is

$m=-\frac{3}{4}$

Step 2

Find the equation of the line that passes through the point $(8,-2)$ and is parallel to the given line

we know that

if two lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal

The equation of the line into point-slope form is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)$

we have

$m=-\frac{3}{4}$

$(x1,y1)=(8,-2)$

substitute in the equation

$y+2=-\frac{3}{4}(x-8)$

$y=-\frac{3}{4}x+6-2$

$y=-\frac{3}{4}x+4$ or $3x+4y=16$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$y=-\frac{3}{4}x+4$

or

$3x+4y=16$

A cone with a diameter of 12 inches has a volume of 640.88 cubic inches. find the height of the cone

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The height of the cone is $17\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cone is equal to

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2}h$

In this problem we have

$r=12/2=6\ in$ ----> the radius is half the diameter

$V=640.88\ in^{3}$

assume $\pi=3.14$

substitute the values and solve for h

$640.88=\frac{1}{3}(3.14)(6)^{2}h$

$h=640.88*3/((3.14)(36))=17\ in$

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

8 servings

Step-by-step explanation:

At the ratio of 15:1, the 75 grams of rice in one serving will require 75/15 = 5 g of spice. David's inventory of 40 g of spice is enough for ...

40 g/(5 g/serving) = 8 servings
