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,

Which of the following rules should be use to find the area of a triangle?

lbvjy [14]

The area of a triangle is half the product of the base and the height.

Since multiplication is commutative, the following expressions are equivalent:

$A=(bh)\cdot \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{b}{2}\cdot h = \dfrac{h}{2}\cdot b$

So, option D is correct

I need help writing the first 5 terms of the sequence!

Angelina_Jolie [31]

The first five terms of the sequence are 1, 4, 7, 10, 13.

Solution:

Given data:

$a_{1}=1$

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+3$

General term of the arithmetic sequence.

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+d$ , where d is the common difference.

d = 3

$a_{n}=a_{n-1}+3$

Put n = 2 in $a_{n}=a_{n-1}+3$ , we get

$a_{2}=a_1+3$

$a_{2}=1+3$

$a_2=4$

Put n = 3 in $a_{n}=a_{n-1}+3$ , we get

$a_{3}=a_2+3$

$a_{3}=4+3$

$a_3=7$

Put n = 4 in $a_{n}=a_{n-1}+3$ , we get

$a_{4}=a_3+3$

$a_{4}=7+3$

$a_4=10$

Put n = 5 in $a_{n}=a_{n-1}+3$ , we get

$a_{5}=a_4+3$

$a_{5}=10+3$

$a_5=13$

The first five terms of the sequence are 1, 4, 7, 10, 13.

What is the measure of AC?

artcher [175]

Answer:

AC = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Do you really need the explanation it seems like you are taking a test. I answered one of your questions a few seconds ago.

a^2+b^2=c^2.

8^2 + 6^2 = c^2

64 + 36 = c^2.

100 = c^2.

Square root of it all equals to

c = 10.
