Answer:

y = 3x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that parallel lines have the same gradient. In this situation we want want to work the equation of the line that is parallel to y = 3x + 9 and passes through ( 2 , - 2 ). We know that equations of lines usually go in the format of y = mx + c

↔ Where 'm' is the gradient / slope

↔ Where 'c' is the y - intercept

Using the information in the first sentence we can set up an equation to find the value of 'c'

⇒ Form the equation

→ y = 3x + c

⇒ Substitute ( 2 , -2 ) into the equation to find the value of c

→ -2 = 6 + c

⇒ Minus 6 from both sides to isolate c

→ -8 = c

⇒ Put the value of c back into y = 3x + c

→ y = 3x - 8

So equation of the line that passes through ( 2, −2 ) and is parallel to the line y = 3x + 9 is y = 3x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope, so we know that our line will have a slope of 3 because y = 3x + 9 has a slope of 3. Now, we can use the point-slope formula of the line to find the equation.

We have y - y₁ = m (x - x₁) (m = 3, x₁ = 2, y₁ = -2)

y- (-2) = 3 (x - 2)

y + 2 = 3x - 6

y = 3x - 8

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The value of first coin will be $151.51 more than second coin in 15 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have just purchased two coins at a price of $670 each.

You believe that first coin's value will increase at a rate of 7.1% and second coin's value 6.5% per year.

We have to calculate the first coin's value after 15 years by using the formula

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{100})^{n}$

Where A = Future value

P = Present value

r = rate of interest

n = time in years

Now we put the values

$A=670(1+\frac{7.1}{100})^{15}$

$A=670(1+0.071)^{15}$

$A=670(1.071)^{15}$

A = (670)(2.797964)

A = 1874.635622 ≈ $1874.64

Now we will calculate the value of second coin.

$A=670(1+\frac{6.5}{100})^{15}$

$A=670(1+0.6.5)^{15}$

$A=670(1.065)^{15}$

A = 670 × 2.571841

A = $1723.13

The difference of the value after 15 years = 1874.64 - 1723.13 = $151.51

The value of first coin will be $151.51 more than second coin in 15 years.

Which expression is equivalent to the given expression? −(1/2y+1/4)

Zigmanuir [339]

$-\left(\dfrac{1}{2}y+\dfrac{1}{4}\right)=-\dfrac{1}{2}y-\dfrac{1}{4}=-\dfrac{1\cdot2}{2\cdot2}y-\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{-2y}{4}-\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{-2y-1}{4}\\\\=-\dfrac{2y+1}{4}$

Most elements, with the exception of a few like hydrogen, want to have _________ electrons in the outer energy level. 6 8 10

Oliga [24]

8 because all elements after nitrogen have not only two energy levels, they also find it easier to just get rid of electrons than to absorb electrons to get to 8 electrons.
