Answer:

y = -½x + 12; y = 2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. <em>Solve the equation </em>

y = -½x + 6

(a) Let x = 0

          y = -½(0) + 6

          y = 0 + 6

          y = 6

(b) Let y = 0

          0 = -½x + 6     Subtract 6 from each side

         -6 = -½x             Multiply each side by -2

          x = 12

The line passes through the points (0, 6) and (12, 0).

2. <em>Equation for parallel line </em>

The line passes through (4, 10).

 y = mx + b

m = -½

10 = -½(4) + b

10 = -2 + b     Add 1 to each side

b = 12

The equation for the parallel line is y = -½x + 12.

3. <em>Equation for perpendicular line </em>

(a). Find the <em>slope (m₁) of the original line </em>

The equation for the original line is

       y = -½x + 6

slope = m₁ = -½

(b). Find the<em> slope (m₂) of the perpendicular line </em>

m₂ = -1/m₁     Substitute the value of m₁

m₂ =   2

(c). Find the <em>equation for the perpendicular line </em>

y = mx + b     Substitute the value of m₂

y = 2x + b

The line passes through (4,10).  

10 = 2 × 4 + b

10 = 8 + b     Subtract 8 from each side

b = 2  

y = 2x + 2

In the image, below, the red line is the graph of your original equation.

The green line passing through (4, 10) is the parallel line.

The black line passing through (4, 10) is the perpendicular line.

Grain is falling from a chute onto the ground, forming a conical pile whose diameter is always three times its height. how high
bezimeni [28]

Given that grain is falling from a chute onto the ground, forming a conical pile whose diameter is always three times its height.

So if D is the diameter and h is the height of the conical pile then we can write:


D=3h

We know that diameter = 2r, where r is the radius

2r=3h

r=\frac{3h}{2}

Volume of conical pile is given by formula

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

Given that volume is 1110 cubic feet.

Now plug the values of Volume and r into equation of volume

1110=\frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{3h}{2})^2h

1110=\frac{1}{3}\pi\cdot\frac{9h^2}{4}\cdot h

1110=\pi\cdot\frac{3h^3}{4}

1110\cdot\frac{4}{3\pi}=h^3

471.098631552=h^3

take cube root of both sides

7.78103342467=h

Hence height is approx 7.78 feet.

Find the distance between points P(5, 1) and Q(1, 3) to the nearest tenth.
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Idk if its multiple choice but you can do 1 of 2 ways theres using distance formula =√(5-3)sq+(1-4)sq

=√4+9

=√13 <--

or

3.6 units

Given: The two points that are P(5,1) and Q(3,4).

To find: The distance between these two points.

Solution: It is given that there are two points that are P(5,1) and Q(3,4).

The distance between these two points can be found out as using the distance formula that is: 3.6

Thus, the distance between the given two points is 3.6 units.

So you choose 13 or 3.6 Hope this helps :)
