Answer:

Assuming that the longest blue whale on record  was about 18 scuba divers in length and a scuba diver is 6 feet length, we want to estimate the length of the whale.

Length of the whale = 18*6

You can multiply mentally by  using compensation. Substitute a number for 18 that is easy  to multiply.

20*6 = 120

Now adjust. Subtract 2 groups of 6, or 12.

120 - 12 = 108

and that is the length of the whale in feet

Given the pair of simultaneous equation:
y=-2/5x-2
y=5x+1
To evaluate the solution of the system of equation from the graph, we obtain the point at which the two linear equations have intersected. taking the values of x and y from the point of intersection that will be the solution of the system of linear equations. 
In our case the straight lines have intersected at the point (-0.5, -1.75). This implies that:
x=-0.5
y=-1.75
hence the answer is a] (-0.5, -1.75)

Write an equation for a parabola in which the set of all points in the plane are equidistant from the focus and line F(-6,0); x=
Bogdan [553]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have a vertical directrix, the equation of the parabola is

(y - k) {}^{2}  = 4p(x - h)

Where p is the distance from the vertex to the directrix.

or the distance from the vertex to the focus.

Since we have a sideways parabola, let use the point for the directrix is (-6,0). So let find the midpoint of (-6,0) and (6,0). That would be our vertex.

\frac{ - 6 + 6)}{2}  = 0

\frac{0 + 0}{2}  = 0

So our vertex is (0,0).

So our equation become

{y}^{2}  = 4px

The distance from the focus and directrix is 6.

So p=6.

{y}^{2}  = 24x

So p is 6.

Since p is 6,

\frac{ {y}^{2} }{24}  = x

FINAL DUE IN 30 MINUTES: the equation 2y + x = 0 is shown on the graph below as a
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Red line

Step-by-step explanation:

2y+x=0

2y=-x

y=-x/2

Put the equation into y=mx+b so you would need to subtract the x to put it on the right side so then you’ll have 2y=-x+0 then divide by 2 to get the y by itself then you’ll have y=-2x+0 that means the line would be negative and the y-intercept is 0 and the only line that follows that is the red line.
