Answer:

The equation of the parallel line would be y = -1/2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To start we need to find the slope of the original line. We can do that by solving for y.

x + 2y = -4

2y = -x - 4

y = -1/2x - 2

Since the slope of the original line is -1/2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have -1/2 slope. Now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = -1/2(x + 8)

y - 5 = -1/2x - 4

y = -1/2x + 1

What is the area of this ^2

Ad libitum [116K]

<h2>Question:- Area of the given diagram</h2>

<h2>Answer :- </h2>

Divide the diagram as shown in attachment.

Now first calculate the area of the rectangle having side 1 and 12

So area = length ×breadth

Area = 1× 12 = 12 unit²

Now find the Area of the remaining triangle with sides 12,13,5 units

$Area = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height \:$

Now put the value as -> base= 5 and height= 12

$Area = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height \: \\ Area = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 12 \\ Area = \frac{1}{ \cancel2} \times 5 \times \cancel{12}^{ \: \: 6} \\ Area = 5 \times 6 \\ Area = 30 \: units^{2}$

Now add both areas for your answer

$Area{ \tiny{1}} = 12 {units}^{2} \\ Area{ \tiny2} = 30 {units}^{2} \\ Area{ \tiny{total}} = Area{ \tiny{1}} + Area{ \tiny{2}} \\ Area{ \tiny{total}} = 12 + 30 = 42 {units}^{2}$

23 hours after 8:00 pm

Sophie [7]

A day has 24 hours, so if you add 23 hours, you are going 1 hour less than a full day. When you are ignoring what day it is, it appears to just be moving back one hour. Therefore, the answer is 7:00 pm. Comment if you have any questions!
