Why is the answer to a subtraction problem called the difference...

Mathematics

lana [24]3 years ago

Maybe because you're finding the "difference" between the two numbers. We could also question why the answer to an addition problem is called sum.
Well, 'sum'body said that's what they should be called a long time ago, that's why we're using that term to call them now.

Find an equation for the line parallel to 4 y + 24 x = 32 and goes through the point ( 1 , − 4 ) . Write your answer in the form
Snezhnost [94]

Answer: y = - 6x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as

y = mx + c

Where

m = slope = (change in the value of y in the y axis) / (change in the value of x in the x axis)

The equation of the given line is

4y + 24x = 32

Rearranging it so that it will take the slope intercept form, it becomes

4y = - 24x + 32

Dividing through by 4, it becomes

y = - 6x + 8

Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = - 6

If two lines are parallel, it means that they have the same slope. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (1,-4) is - 6

To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = - 6, x = 1 and y = -4 into y = mx + c. It becomes

- 4 = - 6 × 1 + c = - 6 + c

c = - 4 + 6 = 2

The equation becomes

y = - 6x + 2

The top of a round table with a diameter of 5.5 feet is painted white. how many square feet are painted
Firlakuza [10]
The formula for area of a circle is:
A=(pi)r^2
If diameter is 5.5, divide by 2 to find radius is 2.75. 2.75^2 is 7.5625 then multiplied by 3.14 (pi) is 23.746.
Depending on how you round, about 23.7 square feet were painted.
