Answer:

the equation of a parallel line is : y=-2/5 x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5y=15

put the equation in the form of y=mx+b

2x+5y=15

5y=15-2x

y=15/5-2/5 x

y=-2/5 x+3

parallel lines has the same slope : m=-2/5

passes through point (-10,3) find b

y=-2/5 x +b

3=-2/5(-10)+b

3=20/5 +b

3=4+b

b=3-4

b=-1

the equation of a parallel line is : y=-2/5 x -1

Answer:

The equation of the line is,

y =  -  \frac{2}{5} x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to write it in a form of y = mx + b :

2x + 5y = 15

5y = 15 - 2x

y = 3 -  \frac{2}{5} x

y =   - \frac{2}{3} x + 5

When both lines are parallel to each other, they will have to same gradient value. So the equation of the line is y = (-2/5)x + b. Next, you have to find the value of b by substutituting (-10,3) into the equation :

y =   - \frac{ 2}{5}x + b

let \: x =  - 10,y = 3

3 =  -  \frac{2}{5} ( - 10) + b

3 = 4 + b

3 - 4 = b

b =  - 1

If F(x) = 2 - xand w(x) = x - 2, what is the range of (w•p(x)?
hoa [83]

Answer:

Th Range is [0, -∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2 - x

w(x) = x - 2

We want to find the range of (f * w)(x).

First, we need to find (f * w)(x), which is the multiplication of the function f(x) and the function w(x). Lets use algebra to find (f * w)(x):

(f*w)(x)=(2-x)(x-2)\\=2x-4-x^2+2x\\=-x^2+4x-4

This is a quadratic function (U shaped), or a parabola. The graph is attached.

The range is the set of y-values for which the function is defined.

We see from the graph that the parabola is upside down and the highest value is y = 0 and lowest goes towards negative infinity. So the range is from 0 to negative infinity. Or,

0 < y < ∞

In interval notation, that would be:

[0, -∞)
