Answer:

The slope of line parallel to 2x-y = 18 will be 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The equation of a line : 2x – y = 18

The standard form of an equation of a line in slope-intercept form is:

y=mx+c

So, we will have to convert the given equation in the standard form.

2x-y=18

-y=-2x+18

-y= -(2x-18)

y=2x-18

The coefficient of x in this form is the slope of the line.

So,

m_1=2

We know that slopes of two parallel lines are equal so if the given line has slope 2, all the lines parallel to this line have slope 2..

For this case, we have by definition, if two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal:

$m_ {1} = m_ {2}$

We have the following equation: $2x-y = 18$

We rewrite the equation of the form:

$y = mx + b\\2x-18 = y\\y = 2x-18$

Thus, a parallel line will have a slope $m_ {2} = 2$

Answer:

$m_ {2} = 2$

A hockey player strikes a hockey puck. The height of the puck increases until it reaches a maximum height of 3 feet, 55 feet awa

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The maximum height of the second pluck is greater than that of the first pluck, hence the second pluck travels further

Also the distance of the maximum height of first pluck from the player is less than the distance of the second pluck from the player hence the second pluck travels further

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The maximum height of the first pluck is $h_1 = 3 \ ft$

The height of the second height is mathematically represented as

$$y=x\left(0.15-0.001x\right)$

=> $y=0.15x -0.001x^2$

Generally at maximum height $y' = 0$

$y'=0.15 -0.002 x = 0$

=> $x = 75 \ ft$

Here 75 ft is the horizontal distance the second pluck traveled at maximum height

So the maximum height of the second pluck is mathematically represented as

$y=0.15(75) -0.001(75)^2$

=> $y= 5.625 \ ft$

So comparing the maximum height of the first and the second pluck we see that the maximum height of the second pluck is greater than that of the first pluck, hence the second pluck travels father

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

$109.27

Step-by-step explanation:

100 + 90 = 190

54/100 X 190 = 102.60

100 + 6.5 = 106.5

102.60/100 X 106.5 = 109.269
