Write the equation of the line that goes through the point (−9, −4) and is parallel to the line −x + 3y = −0.5
inysia [295]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{3}x -1

Explanation:

Given

Parallel to: -x + 3y = -0.5

Passes through (-9,-4)

Required

Determine the line equation

First, we calculate the slope (m) of the said line

-x + 3y = -0.5

Make y the subject

3y = x - 0.5

Divide through by 3

y = \frac{1}{3}x - \frac{0.5}{3}

An equation has the general form:

y = mx + b

Where

m = slope

So:

m = \frac{1}{3}

Because the required line is parallel to -x + 3y = -0.5, then they have the same slope of m = \frac{1}{3}

Next, is to calculate the line equation using:

y = m(x - x_1) + y_1

Where

m = \frac{1}{3}

(x_1,y_1) = (-9,-4)

This gives:

y = \frac{1}{3}(x -(-9)) + (-4)

y = \frac{1}{3}(x +9) -4

Open bracket

y = \frac{1}{3}x +3 -4

y = \frac{1}{3}x -1

The Gobi Desert spans across Mongolia and China. It specifically runs across northwestern and northern China and Southern Mongolia. The Gobi is a large desert region in Asia and is a rain shadow desert formed by the Himalaya range blocking rain-carrying clouds from the Indian Ocean from reaching the Gobi territory. The Gobi is most notable for it being the location for several important cities in the Silk Road and as part of the Great Mongol Empire.

As water collects on the net while Fog Harvesting, the droplets join to form larger drops that fall under the influence of gravi
storchak [24]

Answer: a. True

Explanation:

In the pursuit of acquiring more fresh water, fog harvesting was introduced. It is a way to capture fog which is water vapor that is condensed but close to the surface. Fog has the tendency of reverting to water's liquid form when it comes into contact with objects.

Collecting water from fog involves using a net where the water will collect and fall due to gravity into a conduit such as a trough or gutter that will then take it to a storage tank.
