Answer:
y = 5x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope.
Your function is
y= 5x - 2
slope = 5
The line must have slope = 5.
(a) y = 5x + 3
slope = 5, ∴ Parallel.
(b) y = 1/(5x) + 3.
Not a straight line. ∴ Not parallel.
(c) y = -5x +3
slope = -5 ∴ Not parallel.
(d) y = -1/(5x )+ 3
Not a straight line. ∴ Not parallel.
The Figure below shows the graph of y = 5x -2 (black) and that of the parallel line y = 5x + 3 (green).

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Fireplace is in the form of semi-ellipse with height of 3 ft from center
Length of base=8 ft
if the arch is in the form of ellipse then it can be considered as horizontal ellipse with 2 a and 2 b be length of major and minor axis
2 a =8
a=4 ft
If contractor cover the whole base
then total length of string=2a =8 ft
(b)String should be nailed at focus
focus of ellipse is a e
where e=eccentricity
Focus
Thus string should be nailed at 2.64 m from center
