Answer: y=-\frac{1}{2}x+6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line is slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where m is the slope and b thte y-intercept.

The lines are parallel, then they have the same slope.

Solve for "y"  from  2x+4y=10 to find the slopes of the lines :

2x+4y=10\\4y=-2x+10\\y=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{5}{2}

The  value of the slopes of the lines is:

m=-\frac{1}{2}

Substitute the slope and the point into the equation of the line and solve for "b":

2=-\frac{1}{2}(8)+b\\2=-4+b\\b=6

Then the equation of this line is:

y=-\frac{1}{2}x+6

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The equation of the new line will be:

y=-0.5x+6

or

y=-\frac{1}{2}x+6

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem, we need to remember the slope intercept form of a line.

The slope intercept form of a line is given by the following equation:

y=mx+b

Where,

y, is the function.

x, is the variable of the function.

m, is the pendant of the line.

b, is the y-axis intercept of the line.

So, we are given the line that will be parallel to the line that we are looking for:

2x+4y=10\\4y=-2x+10\\4y=-2(x-5)\\y=\frac{-2}{4}*(x-5)\\\\y=-\frac{1}{2}*(x-5)\\\\y=-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{5}{2}

Where,

m=-\frac{1}{2}

Then,

We need to use the same slope to guarantee that the new line will be parallalel to the given line-

So, our new line will have the following form:

y=-\frac{1}{2}x+b

We need to substitute the given point to isolate "b" in order to guarantee that the line will pass through.

Now, substituting the given point,  to calculate"b", we have:

Calculating b, we have:

2=-\frac{1}{2}8+b

2=-4+b

2+4=b

6=b

Hence, we have that the equation of the new line will be:

y=-0.5x+6

or

y=-\frac{1}{2}x+6

Proving that the line will pass through the given point, by substituting it into its equation, we have:

2=-0.5(8)+6

2=-4+6

2=2

So, since the equality is satisfied, we know that the line pass through the new line.

Have a nice day!

What is the range of possible sizes for side x
Xelga [282]

Answer:

0.5 < x < 16.5

Step-by-step explanation:

For a triangle (by the triangular inequality theorem), we know that the sum of any two sides must be larger than the other side.

When we have a triangle and we know two sides, let's define the measures of these sides as S1 and S2.   (such that S2 > S1)

By the first property, we will have that S1 + S2 > S3

Where S3 is the third side, the one that we do not know.

But there is also a lower restriction, given by:

S2 - S1 < S3 < S1 + S2

This is because we also must have:

S1 + S3 > S2

and

S2 + S3 > S1

We can rewrite both of these to get:

S2 - S1 < S3

S1 - S2 < S3

Because S2 > S1, the first inequality is more restrictive, so we need to use that one.

Then we get the inequality:

S2 - S1 < S3 < S1 + S2

Ok, in this case, the shorter side is 8.0 then:

S1 = 8.0

And the longer side is 8.5, then:

S2 = 8.5

And the third side is x, S3 = x

Replacing those in our inequality, we get:

8.5 - 8.0 < x < 8.5 + 8.0

0.5 < x < 16.5

This is the range of possible sizes for side x.

Assume that 2 cards are drawn from a standard 52-card deck. Find the following probabilities.
topjm [15]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

WITHOUT replacement of first card drawn:

P(a 10 is drawn) = 13/52 = 1/4

P(the next draw is a 10) = 12/52 = 3/13

P(drawing two 10s without replacement of the first draw) = (1/4)(3/13) = 3/52

WITH replacement of first card:

P(two 10s are drawn) = P(first card is a 10)*P(first card is a 10) = (4/13)(4/13) =
