Answer: y=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the equation -2y= 8 into y intercept form by divide both sides by -2.

-2y = 8

y= -4 Now that the line is in y intercept form we can now determine the slope.The slope is 0 so -4 in this case is the y intercept.

Remember lines that a parallel needs to have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

So if the slope of the line y=-4 is 0 then the slope of line that passes through the point (2,-6)

So using the y intercept form formula which says that y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, we could plot in the values for y and x and solve for b to write the equation.

y is -6 and x is 2

-6 = 0(2) + b

-6 = 0 + b

b= -6

In this case the y intercept is -6 so since the slope is zero we will have the equation y = -6

Answer:

asa

Step-by-step explanation:

it says that angle 6 and angle 9 are congruent and side om is congruent to side em and then the angle 7 and 8 are congruent because they are vertical angles and vertical angles are equal to each other. so it gives you angle side angle which is why the correct answer is asa

A circular window is drawn on architectural plans where each unit is a foot on a coordinate grid. the window is modeled by the e

Pie

The equation indicates that the center of the window is 12 feet from the ground and the distance the window spans 6 feet.

<h3>What is the general equation of a circle?</h3>

The equation of a circle is given by the formula,

$(x-a)^{2} + (y -b)^{2} = r^{2}$

where (a,b) is the coordinate of the center of the circle, and r is the radius of the circle.

According to the given equation, if we compare this equation with the general equation of the circle.

$(x-4)^{2} + (y-12)^{2} = 9$

$(x-a)^{2} + (y -b)^{2} = r^{2}$

$(x-4)^{2} + (y -9)^{2} = 3^{2}$

On observing this equation we will get that the value of (a,b) is (4,12).

Thus, The equation indicates that the center of the window is 12 feet from the ground

window span = diameter of circle

window span = 2r

= 2 × 3 (radius = 3)

= 6

Hence, The equation indicates that the center of the window is 12 feet from the ground and the distance the window spans 6 feet.

How do i Simplify: b^8 b^4

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

It looks like they're multiplied, then you can simply add the exponents,

b⁸ * b⁴ = b⁸⁺⁴ = b¹²

remember, b⁸=b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b and b⁴=b*b*b*b

so b⁸ * b⁴ = b*b*b*b*b*b*b*b * b*b*b*b = b¹²
