Answer:

y = -7/5x - 6.7

Step-by-step

y = -7/5x + 6. A Line that is parallel will always have the same slope. The slope is m. m in this situation = -7/5x. A lines equation is y = mx + b. m = -7/5. y = -7/5x + b. Now to find b we can substitute the given point which goes through the new line, (2, -6). In this point x =2 and y = -6. Now substitute the x and y values into our equation. y = -7/5x + b is now -6 = -7/5(2) + b. -7/5(2) = -7/10. -6 = 7/10 + b. Subtract 7/10 from -6. Its -6 and 7/10 or -6.7 . -6.7 = b. b = -6.7. Now substitute the b value into the equation. y = -7/5x -6.7.

a book store contains 75,972 books, divided in three sections: science, business, and math. thr science section represents 1/3 o
Pachacha [2.7K]

Given that total number of books in the book store = 75972

Given that total number of books in science section =\frac{1}{3} rd of total books =\frac{1}{3}*75972 = 25324

Then remaining number of books = 75972 - 25324 = 50648


Given that 75% of the remaining books are in business section = 75% of 50648 = 0.75*50648 = 37986

Then number of books in the math section = 50648 - 37986 =  12662


Hence final answer is 12662 books in the math section.

The area of a rectangle is 46 square inches. If the length is 4 times the width, then find the dimensions of the rectangle. Roun
vampirchik [111]

The dimensions of the rectangles to the nearest hundredth are

  • length = 13.56 inches
  • width = 3.39 inches

<h3>What is a rectangle?</h3>

A rectangle is four sided plane figure which each pair of sides equal and opposite to each other. The sides intersect at an angle of 90 degrees.

<u>Given data</u>

Area of the rectangle = 46 square inches

length L = 4 * width W

area of a rectangle, A

A = L * W

46 = L * W

46 = 4w * w

46 = 4w^2

w^2 = 11.5

w = sqrt ( 11.5 )

w = 3.391 inches

w = 3.39 to the nearest hundredth

since L = 4w

L = 4 * 3.391

L = 13.564

L = 13.56 to the nearest hundredth

Given that the two lines are parallel, we can assume that the two angles given are supplementary (due to them being same side interior angles)

Supplementary angles - when the sum of their degree measure is 180°

8x - 13 + 4x + 1 = 180

12x = 192

x = 16
