Answer:

y = - 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallels line have the same slope, when an equation is in the form y= mx + b, m is the slope. In this problem slope = - 2

Now with the slope what is missing is the y-intercept, the problem says that the line contains the point (-2, 5), replacing that point in the equation you can solve it to find the y-intercept

y = mx + b

5 = (-2)(-2) + b

5 = 4 + b

1 + b

y = - 2x +1

Each side of an equilateral triangle measures 30cm. Find the length of an altitude, a , of the triangle?

Archy [21]

Answer:

$X=25.98cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Length of each side $l=30cm$

Let the triangle be divide by two form a right angle triangle with base angles as $90 \textdegree$ (angle of perpendicularity) and $60 \textdegree$ (angle on each vertices of an equilateral triangle)

Generally the equation for the Altitude X is mathematically given by

Trigonometric Rule

$X=30sin60$

$X=15\sqrt{3}$

$X=25.98cm$
