What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the y-axis and contains the point (-2,7)

Answer:

y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The straight line which is perpendicular to the y-axis will be either x-axis or parallel to the x-axis.

Now, the general equation for all straight line which is either x-axis or parallel to x-axis are given by y = c ........... (1), where c is any constant.

For c = 0 the line will be x -axis. therefore, y = 0, is the equation of x-axis.

Now, if the line (1) passes through the point (-2, 7), then the equation will be y = 7. (Answer)  

{Since, the point (-2,7) will satisfy the equation (1) and then c will be equal to 7.}

FIND THE SUM OF 20 TERMS OF THE ARITHMETIC SERIES IN WHICH 3rd TERM IS 7 AND 7th TERM IS 2 MORE THAN THREE TIMES ITS 3rd TERM
algol13

Answer:

740

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic series is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a₃ = 7 and a₇ = (3 × 7) + 2 = 21 + 2 = 23 , then

a₁ + 2d = 7 → (1)

a₁ + 6d = 23 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term

4d = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )

d = 4

Substitute d = 4 into (1)

a₁ + 2(4) = 7

a₁ + 8 = 7 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

a₁ = - 1

The sum to n terms of an arithmetic series is

S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} [ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ] , thus

S_{20} = \frac{20}{2} [ (2 × - 1) + (19 × 4) ]

     = 10(- 2 + 76) = 10 × 74 = 740

A woman is standing at the edge of a slow-moving river which is one mile wide, and she wishes to return to her campground on the
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

the best option would be to swim

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem we must follow the following steps.

1. remember the concept of uniform motion with constant speed, which establishes the following equation

t=\frac{X}{V}

where

t=time

x=distance

V=speed

2. Calculate the time it takes to swim and calculate the time it takes to walk

walking:

x=10mile

v=5milles/h

t=\frac{10}{5} =2h

swimming

x=1mile

v=3milles/h

t=\frac{1}{3} =0.3h

3. Compare both results and choose the one with the least time.

as you can see it takes less time swimming, so this would be the best way
