<span>What is the slope of the line that is parallel to the y-axis and passes through the point (–1, 5)?

check the picture below.

the y-axis is a vertical line, thus any line parallel to it, will also be a vertical line, so, let's pick another point, hmmmmm say -1, 3, thus

</span>\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}&#10;&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&&(~ -1 &,& 5~) &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&&(~ -1 &,& 3~)&#10;\end{array}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;% slope  = m&#10;slope =  m\implies &#10;\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{3-5}{-1-(-1)}\implies \cfrac{3-5}{-1+1}\implies \stackrel{und efined}{\cfrac{-2}{0}}<span>

A solid sphere is cut into 4 equal wedges the volume of each wedge is v=1/3r3 solve the volume for r
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

r = (3V/π)^1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Volume of a sphere = V = 4/3πr³

Dividing into 4

4/3 * 1/4 πr³ = 4/12πr³ = 1/3πr³

V = 1/3πr³

Cross multiply

3V = πr³

Divide both sides by π

3V/ π = πr³/ π

3V/ π = r³

Take the cube root of both sides

r = (3V/π)^1/3

5 more than 3 times a variable, x, is 23
Monica [59]

3x + 5 = 23

5 more than(addition) 3 times(multiplication) a variable(x) is(equals) 23

(you add 5 to 3x)

If you need to solve for "x", you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

3x + 5 = 23        Subtract 5 on both sides

3x + 5 - 5 = 23 - 5

3x = 18      Divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself

\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{18}{3}

x = 6

4/x - 3/y = 1 ; 6/x + 15/y = 8 solve this equation​
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

x=2

y=3

Solution:

First we find common denominators. It is "xy". Then we multiply numerators by common denominator. We get followings:

(4y-3x)/xy=1; (6y+15x)/xy=8

Then

4y-3x=xy;

6y+15=8xy

Multiply first equasion by 5

20y-15x=5xy

Now we add two equasions to get one

20y-15x=5xy

6y+15x=8xy

We get

26y=13xy

Cut "y" and we will find "x"

26=13x

x=2

Put x value into the first equasion(4y-3x=xy) to find out "y"

4y-6=2y

2y=6

y=3
