Answer:

y=3x-16

Step-by-step explanation:

-3y=-9x+27

y=3x-9

slope: 3

y-2=3(x-6)

y-2=3x-18

y=3x-16

bearing in mind that, parallel lines have the same slope, hmmm what's the slope of 9x - 3y = 27 anyway?

$\bf 9x-3y=27\implies -3y=-9x+27\implies y=\cfrac{-9x+27}{-3} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{-9x}{-3}+\cfrac{27}{-3}\implies y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{3}x-9\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

well, a parallel line to that one will also have the same slope, namely, we're really looking for the equation of al line whose slope is 3 and runs through (6,2).

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{6}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies 3 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{2}=\stackrel{m}{3}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{6}) \\\\\\ y-2=3x-18\implies y=3x-16$

Convert 1/15 into a decimal correct to 2 decimal places

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{15} = 0.\overline{66}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We proceed to show the procedure to calculate the given fraction into a decimal form:

1) Since numerator is less than denominator, the integer component of the decimal number is zero:

$\frac{1}{15} = 0.xx$

2) We multiply the numerator by 10 and find the tenth digit:

$\frac{10}{15} = 0$

Then,

$\frac{1}{15} = 0.0xx$

3) We multiply the fraction in 2) by 10 and find the hundredth digit:

$\frac{100}{15} = 6$

Then,

$\frac{1}{15} = 0.66x$

And the remainder is:

$r = 100-15\times 6$

$r = 10$

4) We multiply the remainder by 10 and divide this result by the denominator to determine the thousandth digit:

$\frac{100}{15} = 6$

Then,

$\frac{1}{15} = 0.666$

This question asks us to write a decimal correct to 2 decimal places, which has the characteristic that is infinite periodical decimal. Then, the result correct to 2 decimal places is:

$\frac{1}{15} = 0.\overline{66}$

Three angles of an irregular octagon are 100 degrees, 120 degrees, and 140 degrees. The remaining angles are congruent. Find the

STatiana [176]

Answer:

144°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the interior angles of a polygon is

sum = 180° × (n - 2) ← n is the number of sides

Here n = 8 ( octagon ), hence

sum = 180° × 6 = 1080°

let the measure of 1 congruent angle be x

Then sum the 8 angles and equate to 1080

100 + 120 + 140 + 5x = 1080

360 + 5x = 1080 ( subtract 360 from both sides )

5x = 720 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 144

Thus each of the 5 congruent angles is 144°

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (-5,3) and (-7,5).

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

points (-7,5) and (5,-3)?

This would mean to subtract the y coordinates:

5 - (-3) = 8

Then subtract the x coordinates in the same order:

-7 - 5 = -12

Then divide the y result by the x result for the slope:

8/-12 is the slope.

In simplest form, this is equivalent to -2/3

Formula for 4,9,14 19

alexira [117]

Answer:

$a_{n }$ = 5n - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference between consecutive terms , that is

9 - 4 = 14 - 9 = 19 - 14 = 5

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term

$a_{n}$ = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 4 and d = 5 , then

$a_{n}$ = 4 + 5(n - 1) = 4 + 5n - 5 = 5n - 1
