Answer: 5x + 2y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Change 5x+2y=12 to slope intercept: 2y = 12 - 5x, y = -5x/2 + 6

A parallel line has the same slope, so the line we try to find is y = -5x/2 + b.

Substitute (-2, 4) in and get 4=5+b, so b = -1.

Therefore the answer is y = -5x/2 - 1, or if you want it in the original form it would be 2y = -5x - 2 ---> 5x+2y = -2.

Hope that helped,

Noa was paid a 25 percent commission for selling a used car. if she was paid 1,631.24, what was the selling price of the car?

forsale [732]

Answer:

The selling price of car = $ 6524.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the selling price of car be x.

Noa was paid 25 percent commission for selling a used car.

According to problem,

i.e 25% of selling price = 1631.24

or 25/100 * x = 1631.24

or 25x = 1631.24 * 100

or x = 163124 / 25

or x =6524.96

Hence the selling price of car = $ 6524.96

A monument has a base and a statue. The base is a rectangular prism that measures 4 ft by 6ft by 2 ft. The statue is a cube with

valina [46]

So find the volume of the separate shapes. For rectangular prisms (which includes cubes), multiply width by height by length. So multiply 4 by 6 by 2. And for the cube, multiply 2 by 2 by 2. Then, to find the total volume, add the two together.

Find the volume of the figure: a cone with a square pyramid of the same height cut out. The pyramid has height l, and its square

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The volume of the figure is $\frac{l^{3}}{3}[\frac{1}{2}\pi-1]\ units^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the figure is equal to the volume of the cone minus the volume of the square pyramid

step 1

Find the volume of the cone

The volume of the cone is equal to

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2} h$

we have

$r=l\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\ units$

$h=l\ units$

substitute

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (l\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})^{2}l$

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{l^{3}}{2} )$

$V=\frac{1}{6}\pi (l^{3})\ units^{3}$

step 2

Find the volume of the square pyramid

$V=\frac{1}{3}Bh$

we have

$B=l^{2}\ units^{2}$

$h=l\ units$

substitute

$V=\frac{1}{3}(l^{2})l$

$V=\frac{1}{3}(l^{3})\ units^{3}$

step 3

Find the difference

$\frac{1}{6}\pi (l^{3})-\frac{1}{3}(l^{3})=\frac{l^{3}}{3}[\frac{1}{2}\pi-1]\ units^{3}$
