Answer: y = 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

m = slope = (change in the value of y in the y axis) / (change in the value of x in the x axis)

The equation of the given line is

y = 2x - 8

Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = 2

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have the same slope. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (- 3,-6) is 2

To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = 2, x = - 3 and

y = - 6 into y = mx + c. It becomes

- 6 = 2 × - 3 + c

- 6 = - 6 + c

c = - 6 + 6 = 0

The equation becomes

y = 2x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

10 = r²h

(2r)²(2h) = 16r²h

volume of B is 1.6 times the volume of A

A poster is to have a total area of 125 cm2. There is a margin round the edges of 6 cm at the top and 4 cm at the sides and bott
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is 15 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the required poster be a cm.

We need to have a 6 cm margin at the top and a 4 cm margin at the bottom. Thus total margin combining top and bottom is 10 cm.

Similarly total margin combining both the sides is (4+4=) 8 cm.

So the required printing area of the poster is given by {( a-10 ) × ( a - 8) } cm^{2}

This area is equal to 125 cm^{2} as per as the given problem.

∴ (a - 10) × (a - 8) = 125

⇒ a^{2} - 18 a +80 -125 =0

⇒ a^{2} - 18 a -45 = 0

⇒ (a-15) (a-3) = 0

By law of trichotomy the possible values of a are 15 and 3.

But a=3 is absurd as a > 4.

Thus the required answer is 15 cm.
