Answer:

y  = \frac{1}{2}x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

    Coordinates = p(4,0)

  Equation of the line   -x+2y=12​

Solution:

A line parallel to the given line will have the same slope as it is;

     -x+2y=12​

          2y = x + 12

            y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{12}{2}

 Since this conforms to y = mx + c where;

    x and y are the coordinates

    m is the slope

   c is the intercept

Our slope is \frac{1}{2}

The equation of the line is

      y = mx + c

let us find c;

     c  = y - mx

     c = 0 - (\frac{1}{2} x 4)

     c = -2

Now the equation of the line parallel to the line given is;

     y  = \frac{1}{2}x - 2

Answer:

y = 5/8x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = change in y/change in x

slope = 5/8

Using y = mx + b find b.

y = 5/8x + b

-2 = 5/8(-4) + b

b = 1/2

y = 5/8x + 12

<em>good luck, i hope this helps :)</em>

Michael Jordan is 6'6'' tall and could jump 4 feet of vertical distance off the ground.A basketball net's rim is 3.9 meters off
Vaselesa [24]
No. 6+4=10. Michael Jordan's head reaches 10'6" above the ground. A meter is slightly more than 3 feet, so 3.9 meters is more than 11'8". 

MJ's head would not reach the rim by more than a foot.
