ANSWER

$- 5x - 3y = 0$

EXPLANATION

The line that passes through the origin has equation of the form:

y=mx

Where m is the slope.

Since the line is parallel to the line through A(-3, 0) and B(-6, 5), they have the same slope.

The slope is given by:

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

$m = \frac{5 - 0}{ - 6 - - 3} = - \frac{5}{3}$

Hence the required equation is:

$y = - \frac{5}{3} x$

Multiply through by 3,

$3y = - 5x$

In standard form, the equation is

$- 5x - 3y = 0$

An engineer is trying to design a runway for an airport. He knows that airplanes have the ability to accelerate at 3.3 m/s ^ 2 a

Answer:

The proposed 1600 meters runway length is not long enough

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The amount by which a plane can accelerate = 3.3 m/s²

The time it takes for a plane to lift off the ground = 35 seconds

The length of the runway on the blueprint = 1,600 meters

Therefore, from the equation of motion for distance traveled, s, acceleration, a, and time taken, t, we have;

s = u·t + 1/2·a·t²

Where;

u = The initial velocity

t = 35 seconds

a = 3.3 m/s²

Given that all planes will start motion from rest, we have;

u = 0 m/s

Therefore;

s = 0 × 35 + 1/2 × 3.3 × 35² = 2021.25 meters

Which indicates that the length of the runway a plane would need for take off should be at least 2021.25 meters long, therefore, the blueprint's 1600 meters runway length is not long enough.

Parallelogram FGHJ was dilated and translated to form

Mrrafil [7]

Answer: The required scale factor of the dilation is 4.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the parallelogram FGHJ was dilated and translated to form similar parallelogram F'G'H'J'.

We are to find the scale factor of the dilation.

From the graph, we note that

JH = 2 units and J'H' = 8 units.

We know that

$\textup{Scale factor of dilation}=\dfrac{\textup{length of a side of the dilated figure}}{\textup{length of the correponding side of the original figure}}.$
