Answer:

The equations of the lines that satisfy these conditions are

y = (9/8)x + (13/4)

And

y = (9/8)x - (13/4)

They can be written further as

8y = 9x + 26

and

8y = 9x - 26

Step-by-step explanation:

The line parallel to the line 9x - 8y = 1 has the same slope as 9x - 8y = 1

Writing the equation of the line in the (y = mx + c) form

8y = 9x - 1

y = (9/8)x - 1

So, the line(s) we are looking for has/have slope(s) of (9/8).

Its equation is then

y = (9/8)x + k

This line is then said to be tangent to the ellipses

9x² + 16y² = 52

So, since the line is a tangent to the ellipses, it will have the same coordinates as the ellipses at the point of contact.

9x² + 16y² = 52

y = (9/8)x + k

y² = (81/64)x² + (18k/8)x + k²

y² = (81/64)x² + (9k/4)x + k²

Substituting this into the ellipses equation,

9x² + 16y² = 52

9x² + 16[(81/64)x² + (9k/4)x + k²] = 52

9x² + (81/4)x² + 36kx + 16k² = 52

29.25x² + 36kx + 16k² - 52 = 0

Taking note that the two lines that will be tangent to the ellipses and parallel to the line given, to establish tangency, we make the discriminant of this equation 0. Hence, the roots of that equation will have equal roots.

So, the discriminant, b² - 4ac = 0

29.25x² + 36kx + 16k² - 52 = 0

a = 29.25

b = 36k

c = 16k² - 52

(36k)² - (4)×(29.25)×(16k² - 52) = 0

1296k² - 1872k² + 6084 = 0

576k² = 6084

k = ±(13/4)

So, the equation(s) of the line(s) required is

y = (9/8)x ± (13/4)

So, the equations include

y = (9/8)x + (13/4)

And

y = (9/8)x - (13/4)

Multiplying by 8, we obtain

8y = 9x + 26

8y = 9x - 26

Hope this Helps!!!

¿Como encontrar los dos puntos de una gráfica?
blagie [28]
Si estas haciendo una linea recta vas a necesitar dos puntos. Los encuentras poniendo un numero por x en la formula para que te de un numero, y. Y te va dar (x, y). Lo haces otravez con otro valor de x y ese te va dar (x2, y2). Y luego los conectas con una linea.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST find the y-intercept of the parabo;a y= -33/4 x^2 + 4
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

The y-intercept is (0, 4)

  1. Since the y-intercept marks the point where x =0, all that you have to do is substitute 0 in for x in the parabola's equation.
