Answer:

a. y = -½x

b. y = -½x + 3

c. 2y = -x - 4

e. x + 2y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope. Therefore, the lines that will be parallel to the given line on the graph would have the same slope as the line of the graph.

First, find the slope of the line on the graph:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Use the coordinates of any two points on the line. Let's use (-4, 0) and (0, -2)

$m = \frac{-2 - 0}{0 -(-4)} = \frac{-2}{4} = -\frac{1}{2}$

Slope of the line on the graph is -½.

Check each given line equation, ensure they are in the slope-intercept form and find out if the value of their slope is the same as -½.

Slope-intercept form is given as y = mx + b, where, m = slope.

Option 1: y = -½x

The slope of this line is -½, therefore it is parallel to the line on the graph.

Option 2: y = -½x + 3

The slope of this line is also -½, therefore it is parallel to the line on the graph.

Option 3: 2y = -x - 4

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

y = -x/2 - 4/2

y = -½x - 2

The slope of this line is -½, therefore it is parallel to the line on the graph.

Option 4: y = 2x - 5.

The slope of this line is 2, therefore it is NOT parallel to the line on the graph.

Option 5: x + 2y = 8

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

2y = 8 - x

y = 8/2 - x/2

y = 4 - ½x

The slope of this line is -½, therefore it is parallel to the line on the graph.

If you run for 0.4 hours at 7 mph, how fast should you walk during the next 0.8 hours to have the average speed of 5 mph?

Fantom [35]

Answer:

4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed of an object is given by the total distance covered by the time taken:

$v=\frac{d}{t}$

where

d is the total distance covered

t is the time taken

in the first part, the person runs for 0.4 hours at a speed of 7 mph, so the distance covered in the 1st part is

$d_1 = v_1 t_1 = (7)(0.4)=2.8 mi$

Then the distance covered in the second part is $d_2$ , so the total distance is

$d=2.8+d_2$ (1)

The total time elapsed is 0.4 hours (first part) + 0.8 hours (second part), so

$t=0.4+0.8=1.2 h$

So we can write the average speed as

$v=\frac{2.8+d_2}{1.2}$ (1)

We want the average speed to be 5 mph,

v = 5 mph

Therefore we can rearrange eq.(1) to find d2:

$d_2 = 1.2v-2.8 = (1.2)(5)-2.8=3.2 mi$

And therefore, the speed in the second part must be

$v_2=\frac{d_2}{t_2}=\frac{3.2}{0.8}=4 mph$

How will the metric system be used in your furture career

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

i feel as if in the United States, both the metric system and the English system of measurement are used, although the English system predominates. This discussion question has three parts:

Look around you to find something in the U.S. that is measured in metrics. Describe it to the class.

Give an example of how you think the metric system will be used in your future career.

Do you think the U.S. should switch to metric system exclusively? Why or why not?

This week we learned about the metric and U.S. customary measurement systems. Please upload and submit your responses to the following questions in at least 150 words:

In reflecting on both measurement systems, what did you find most important?

Explain how both measurement systems could relate to your life, community, or current/future career.

Divide 800ml into ratio 3:7

Brums [2.3K]

Simply take the numerator (3) and denominator (7) and add them together.

3+7 = 10, which means that the ratio will provide parts that are in multiples of 10 depending on the total

so take 10x = 800

x = 80.

Then multiply this by the numerator and denominator

3*80/7*80 = 240/560.
