What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (2,−6) and is parallel to the line x−2y=8?

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

y = x/2 - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the slope of the given equation: x - 2y = 8

Subtract x from both sides

x - 2y = 8

- x - x

-2y = 8 - x

Divide both sides by -2

-2y/-2 = (8 - x)/-2

y = -4 + x/2

The slope of this equation is 1/2

So the equation of our parallel equation is y = x/2 + b

We have to find b, so plug in the given coordinates

-6 = 2/2 + b

-6 = 1 + b

Subtract 1 from both sides

-6 = 1 + b

- 1 - 1

b = -7

Plug it back into the original equation

y = x/2 - 7

What are the coordinates of the circumcenter of this triangle?

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

The coordinates of the circumcenter of this triangle are (3,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The circumcenter is the point where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle intersect

we have the coordinates

$A(-2,5),B(-2,-1),C(8,-1)$

step 1

Find the midpoint AB

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M=(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

substitute the values

$M=(\frac{-2-2}{2},\frac{5-1}{2})$

$M_A_B=(-2,2)$

step 2

Find the equation of the line perpendicular to the segment AB that passes through the point (-2,2)

Is a horizontal line (parallel to the x-axis)

$y=2$ -----> equation A

step 3

Find the midpoint BC

The formula to calculate the midpoint between two points is equal to

$M=(\frac{x1+x2}{2},\frac{y1+y2}{2})$

substitute the values

$M=(\frac{-2+8}{2},\frac{-1-1}{2})$

$M_B_C=(3,-1)$

step 4

Find the equation of the line perpendicular to the segment BC that passes through the point (3,-1)

Is a vertical line (parallel to the y-axis)

$x=3$ -----> equation B

step 5

Find the circumcenter

The circumcenter is the intersection point between the equation A and equation B

$y=2$ -----> equation A

$x=3$ -----> equation B

The intersection point is (3,2)

therefore

The coordinates of the circumcenter of this triangle are (3,2)

Write an inequality for the graph below

andrezito [222]

Answer:

y > -1/4x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the equation of the line itself, which is y = -1/4x + 4, then determine if graph shades above the line or below the line. If it shades above which is true in this case, it will be greater than. If it shades below which does not occur in this case, it will be less than. Because the line is dashed and not solid, it will just be greater than or less than.

Therefore y = -1/4x + 4 → y > -1/4x + 4 [Shades above the line, line is dashed].

Please help me find the slope of the line graphed below!

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

slope = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
