Answer:

The equation of the parallel line is: y = -1/2x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where

  • m is the slope
  • b is the y-intercept

Given the line

x + 2y = -2

writing into the slope-intercept form

2y = - x - 2

dividing both sides by 2

y=-\frac{1}{2}x-1

comparing with the slope-intercept form y = mx+b

Thus, the slope m of the equation is: m = -1/2

We know that the parallel lines have the same slope.

Thus, the slope of a new line parallel to x + 2y = -2 is also: -1/2

Given that the line intersects the point (6, 9).

so substituting m = -1/2 and (6, 9) in the slope-intercept form to determine the y-intercept

y = mx+b

9 = -1/2(6) + b

9 = -3 + b

b = 9+3

b = 12

Thus, the y-intercept b = 12

now substituting b = 12 and m = -1/2 in the slope-intercept

y = mx+b

y = -1/2x + 12

Therefore, the equation of the parallel line is: y = -1/2x + 12

Answer:

x=11

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that  the angle is equal to 1/2 the difference of the long arc length between where the line segments touch the circle and the small  arc length where the line segments touch the circle

They long distance is 360 - (86+74) = 200

The small distance is 86

4x+13 = 1/2 ( 200  - 86)

4x+13 = 1/2 (114)

4x+13 = 57

Subtract 13 from each side

4x+13-13 = 57-13

4x= 44

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 44/4

x=11

nevsk [136]

Answer:

-the ratio of the number of tacos Jackie made to the number of tacos Marta made

-the ratio of the number of tacos Marta made to the number of tacos Manny made

-the ratio of the number of tacos Manny made to the number of tacos Marta made

-the ratio of the number of tacos Vinny and Marta made to the number of tacos Vinny and Evelyn made

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 that apply! Jackie and many both made 6 and Marta made 4 so the ratio is 6:4! Vinny and Marty's combined is 6 and Vinny and evelyn's combined is 4 so the ratio is 6:4!

PLEASE HELPPPPP!!!!!!!!! (show work if you can)
Kryger [21]

Answer:

180x^4y^3z^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by finding the LCM of the coefficients of each polynomial:

LCM(12,18,30)=180

Next, to find the least common multiple of each of the following terms, we need to take the absolute minimum we can of each term (x, y, and z). The largest term of x is x^4 in the first polynomial, so we'll take exactly that for our x term in the LCM, absolutely nothing more. Similarly, the largest term of y in any of the three polynomials is y^3 (also in the first polynomial) and the largest z term in any of the three polynomials is z^2 in the second polynomial. Thus, the LCM of all our polynomials is:

180\cdot x^4\cdot y^3\cdot z^2=\boxed{180x^4y^3z^2}
