What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (2, -6) and is parallel

Mathematics

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

What is the area of this composite figure?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

7.14 in. sq

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the square; 2x2=4

Now find the area of the semi-circle; radius = 1.    

1 squared= 1 Now multiply by 3.14 which equals 3.14

Now divide by 2 because it's a semi-circle, you get 1.57.

Multiply 1.57 by 2 because you have 2 semi-circles, the would equal 3.14

Add 4+3.14 and you get 7.14

The area of the composite figure is 7.14 in. sq

Janet can do a job in 3 hours, and Garry can do the same job in 2 hours. If Janet works for 1 hour before Garry comes to help, h
lidiya [134]

Answer:

48 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Time taken by Janet = 3 hours

Janet's rate = 1/3 job / hour

Time taken by Garry = 2 hours

Garry's rate = 1/2

Rate of working together :

1/3 + 1/2 = (2 + 3) /6 = 5/6 job/hour

If Janet works for one hour before Garry joins ;

1/3 of the job has been done by Janet

1 - 1/3 = 2/3 of the job left

Hence to finish the job together, it will take :

Fraction of JOB left ÷ rate of working together

(2/3 ÷ 5/6)

= 2 /3 * 6/5

= 12 / 15

= 4 / 5 hours

To minutes

(4/5) * 60

= 240/5

= 48 minutes
