Answer:

y = -1/2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If it's parallel, that means that the slope is the opposite of the one in the given equation, meaning that 2 would be flipped and turned negative into -1/2.

Then, fill in the x and y values to get the y-intercept.

1 = -1/2(-6) + b

1 = 3 + b

-2 = b

So your answer is y = -1/2x - 2

Alex the electrician needs 34 yards of electrical wire to complete his job. He has a coil of wiring in his workshop. The coiled

bogdanovich [222]

Answer: This coil will not be enough to complete the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of the coil of wiring can be calculated with:

$C=2\pi r$

Where r is the radius and $\pi=3.14$

The radius can be calculated by dividing the diameter by 2. Then:

$r=\frac{18in}{2}\\\\r=9in$

Convert 9 inches to yards (1 yard=36 inches):

$(9in)(\frac{1yd}{36in})=0.25yd$

Substitute this radius into the formula:

$C=2(3.14)(0.25yd)\\C=1.57yd$

Since there are 21 circles of wire, you need to multiply $C=1.57yd$ by 21:

$C_T=(1.57yd)(21)=32.97yd$

The coil has 32.97 yards of wire and Alex needs 34 yards, therefore, this coil will not be enough to complete the job.

A yard is equal in length to 3 feet the function takes a measurement in yards and returns a measurement and see what number will

Alik [6]

Answer:

It will return 31.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the function is as follows;

let the yard be represented as y and the f be the feet

It takes in yards and return feet

Mathematically, using the relation between the two;

So for every yards it takes in, it returns 3 times the value in feet

Thus, for 10.5 yards, what it will return will be;

10.5 * 3 = 31.5 ft
