Answer:

y = 1/3x + 4 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 6y = 12

First find the slope

Solve for y

Subtract 2x

2x - 6y -2x= 12-2x

-6y = -2x+12

Divide by -6

-6y/-6 =-2x/-6 +12/-6

y = 1/3 x -2

The slope is 1/3

Parallel lines have the same slope

Using the slope intercept form y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 1/3x +b

And substituting in the point

4 = 1/3 (-1) +b

4 = -1/3 +b

Add 1/3 to each side

4 + 1/3 = b

y = 1/3x + 4 1/3

A vehicle is traveling 540 meters in 6 seconds.How far can it travel in 4 seconds

agasfer [191]

6 seconds = 540 m

-----------------------------
Find 1 second:
-----------------------------
6 sec = 540 m
1 sec = 540 ÷ 6
1 sec = 90m

-----------------------------
Find 4 seconds:
-----------------------------
1 sec = 90m
4 sec = 90 x 4
4 sec = 360 m

----------------------------------------------------------
Answer: It can travel 360m in 4 seconds.

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

$m \angle \theta=120$

Generally the angle of inclination is $\theta$

$\theta =180-120$

$\theta=60$

Generally the equation for x is mathematically given by

$x=cos60\textdegree *1$

$x=\frac{1}{2}$

Since x exists in the second quadrant

Therefore the value of x in simplest form is

$x=-\frac{1}{2}$

11 15 15/x

Jonah spent the cost of a movie ticket and split the cost of popcorn, so this needs to be represented by a " + ". Jonah just buy one piece tickets, so 11 is tickets price. We know Jonah's costs represented by the expression 11+15/x, "x" on behalf of the number of he and his friends, so 15 is the price of popcprn. 15/x means one person's money for the poopcorn, including Jonah.

Two angles of the adjacent side of a trapezoid should have a total angle of 180. In You can get this equation:
∠OPM + ∠PMN= 180
∠OPM = 180- ∠PMN

∠OPM = 3(∠PMN) -10
180- ∠PMN= 3∠PMN -10
180+10= 3∠PMN + ∠PMN
4 ∠PMN= 190
∠PMN= 47.5

∠OPM + ∠PMN= 180
∠OPM + 47.5= 180
∠OPM = 180-47.5= 132.5

How do I graph f(x)=(x+3)(2x+1)

Soloha48 [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, since this is already in factored form, we can find the zeroes of this quadratic, which are -3 and -1/2. (To check, you can try plugging in these 2 values for x, and they indeed equal to zero.)

Now, we want to find the vertex. The x value would be exactly halfway between -3 and -1/2, which is -1.75. Now, we just need to evaluate it, so we can find the y value of the vertex:

(-1.75+3)(2*(-1.75)+1)

=(1.25)(-2.5)

=(-3.125)

Therefore, the vertex is at (-1.75, -3.125).

3 points define a parabola, so we can directly graph it now(graph attached to the answer).

I hope this helped.
