What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-1, 4) and is parallel

Mathematics
1 answer:
vesna_86 [32]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>y + 2x = 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

To find the equation of the parallel line we must first find the slope of the original line

The original line is 2x + y = 1

We must first write the equation in the general form above

That's

y = - 2x + 1

Comparing with the general equation above

Slope = - 2

Since the lines are parallel their slope are also the same

Slope of parallel line = - 2

So the equation of the line using point

( - 1 , 4) and slope - 2 is

<h3>y - 4 =  - 2(x + 1) \\ y - 4 =  - 2x - 2 \\ y + 2x =  - 2 + 4</h3>

We have the final answer as

<h3>y + 2x = 2</h3>

Hope this helps you

A (0, 2) and B (6,6) are points on the straight line ABCD.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

(18, 14)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that C and D lie on the line AB and BC = CD = AB. Then we need to use the distance formula and equation of the line AB to find the other two coordinates.

The distance formula states that the distance between two points (x_1,y_1) and (x_2,y_2), the distance is denoted by: \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}. Let's find the distance between A and B:

d = \sqrt{(6-0)^2+(6-2)^2}=\sqrt{6^2+4^2} =\sqrt{36+16} =\sqrt{52} =2\sqrt{13}

Now say the coordinates of D are (a, b). Then the distance between D and B will be twice of 2√13, which is 4√13:

4√13 = \sqrt{(6-a)^2+(6-b)^2}

Square both sides:

208 = (6 - a)² + (6 - b)²

Let's also find the equation of the line AB. The y-intercept we know is 2, so in y = mx + b, b = 2. The slope is (6 - 2) / (6 - 0) = 4/6 = 2/3. So the equation of the line is: y = (2/3)x + 2. Since (a, b) lines on this line, we can put in a for x and b for y: b = (2/3)a + 2. Substitute this expression in for b in the previous equation:

208 = (6 - a)² + (6 - b)²

208 = (6 - a)² + (6 - (2/3a + 2))² = (6 - a)² + (-2/3a + 4)²

208 = a² - 12a + 36 + 4/9a² - 16/3a + 16 = 13/9a² - 52/3a + 52

0 = 13/9a² - 52/3a - 156

13a² - 156a - 1404 = 0

a² - 12a - 108 = 0

(a + 6)(a - 18) = 0

a = -6 or a = 18

We know a can't be negative so a = 18. Plug this back in to find b:

b = 2/3a + 2 = (2/3) * 18 + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

So point D has coordinates (18, 14).

Find the missing probability. P(A)=7/20,P(A∪B)=191/400,P(A∩B)=49/400 ,P(B)=? A. 7/8 B. 1/4 C. 117/400 D. 19/40
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

P(AUB)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)

191/400=7/20+P(B)-49/400

P(B)=191/400+49/400-7/20=240/400-7/20=12/20-7/20=5/20=1/4
