Answer:

The Answer is: y = -1/4x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given point: (4, 5)

Given equation: y = -1/4x - 11

Slope: m = -1/4, a parallel line will have the same slope.

Start with the point slope form and solve for y:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = -1/4(x - 4)

y - 5 = -1/4x + 1

y = -1/4x + 1 + 5

y = -1/4x + 6

Proof:

f(x) = -1/4x + 6

f(4) = -1/4(4) + 6

= -1 + 6 = 5, giving (4, 5)

Hope this helps!! Have an Awesome day!!! :-)

On a unit circle, the vertical distance from the x-axis to a point on the perimeter of the circle is twice the horizontal distan

swat32

Check the picture below.

since the vertical distance, namely the y-coordinate, is twice as much as the horizontal, then if the horizontal is "x", the vertical one must be 2x.

let's find the hypotenuse first.

$\bf \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2} \qquad \begin{cases} c=hypotenuse\\ a=\stackrel{adjacent}{x}\\ b=\stackrel{opposite}{2x}\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ c=\sqrt{x^2+(2x)^2}\implies c=\sqrt{x^2+4x^2}\implies c=\sqrt{5x^2}\implies c=x\sqrt{5} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{2~~\begin{matrix} x \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~ }}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{~~\begin{matrix} x \\[-0.7em]\cline{1-1}\\[-5pt]\end{matrix}~~ \sqrt{5}}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{and rationalizing the denominator}~\hfill }{\cfrac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\cdot \cfrac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt{5}}{(\sqrt{5})^2}\implies \cfrac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}}$

There are 7 gallons of black paint available to motorola. If 5/9 gallons is used each run, How many runs can we paint?

There are 7 gallons of black paint available to motorola. If 5/9 gallons is used each run. To find the amount of runs you can paint, you have to divide the total by the amount for each run.

$7 \div \frac{5}{9}$
