Through(-2,-3); parallel to 3x+2y=5

Vilka [71]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

Firstly find slope of the given equation.

Given eqaution is: 3x + 2y = 5.......(i)

Now;

$slope(m1) = \frac{ - coeff. \: of \: x}{coeff. \: of \: y}$

$or \: m1 = \frac{ - 3}{2}$

Therefore, slope (m1) = -3/2.

As per the condition of parallel lines,

Slope of the 1st eqaution (m1) = Slope of the 2nd eqaution (m2) = -3/2.

The point is; (-2,-3). From the above solution we know that the slope is (-3/2). So, the eqaution of a line which passes through the point (-2,-3) is;

(y-y1) = m2 (x-x1)

~ Keep all values.

$(y + 3) = \frac{ - 3}{2} (x + 2)$

~ Simplify it.

$2(y + 3) = - 3x - 6$

$2y + 6 = - 3x - 6$

$3x + 2y + 12 = 0$

Therefore, the eqaution of the line which passes through the point (-2,-3) and parallel to 3x + 2y= 5 is 3x + 2y +12 =0.

Hope it helps...

what is the difference between teh largest prime number less than 50 and the smalest composite number grater than 10

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

The answer is 35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prime numbers that are less than 50 are --> 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47

The largest prime number in here that is less than 50 is 47, right?

Lastly, the smallest composite number which is greater than 10 is what? It is 12, okay?

So, 47 - 12 = 35

Solve this linear system by graphing x-y=6 2x=12+2y

lys-0071 [83]

You need to isolate the variables. For the first equation add x to both sides, which leaves you with y.

For the second equation, divide each side by 2 leaving you with
x= 6+y. Subtract y from each side. Subtract x from both sides. Now you have y= x + 6.

Now graph those equations.

When building a house, the number of days required to build varies inversely with with the number of workers. One house was buil

Helga [31]

Let d represent number of days and n represent number of workers.

We have been given that when building a house, the number of days required to build varies inversely with with the number of workers.

We know that the equation $y=\frac{k}{x}$ represents the relation where y is inversely proportional to x and k is the constant of proportionality.
