Answer:

The equation of the line that is parallel to given line and passes through the point (-8, -3) is: $y = 5x+37$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of line is:

$y=5x-3$

The general form of equation of line in slope-intercept form is written as:

$y = mx+b$

Here m(co-efficient of x) is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

Comparing the given equation with the general form we get

m = 5

Two parallel lines have same slope so the slope of any line parallel to given line will also be 5.

Let m1 be the slope of required line parallel to y=5x-3

Then m1=5

Putting in general form

$y = m_1x+b$

$y=5x+b$

To find the value of b(y-intercept) the given point has to be put in the equation from which the line passes.

The point is (-8,-3)

$-3 = 5(-8)+b\\-3 = -40+b\\b = -3+40\\b = 37$

Putting the value of b and m1, we get

$y = 5x+37$

Hence,

The equation of the line that is parallel to given line and passes through the point (-8, -3) is: $y = 5x+37$

A 51-foot wire running from the top of a tent pole to the ground makes an angle of 58° with the ground. If the length of the ten

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

<em>35.11 ft</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

This given situation can be thought of as triangle $\triangle PQR$ where PQ is the length of pole.

PR is the length of rope.

and QR is the distance of bottom of pole to the point of fastening of rope to the ground.

And $\angle Q \neq 90^\circ$

Given that:

PQ = 44 ft

PR = 51 ft

$\angle R = 58^\circ$

To find:

Side QR = ?

Solution:

We can apply Sine Rule here to find the unknown side.

Sine Rule:

$\dfrac{a}{sinA} = \dfrac{b}{sinB} = \dfrac{c}{sinC}$

Where

a is the side opposite to $\angle A$

b is the side opposite to $\angle B$

c is the side opposite to $\angle C$

$\dfrac{PR}{sinQ}=\dfrac{PQ}{sinR}\\\Rightarrow sin Q =\dfrac{PR}{PQ}\times sinR\\\Rightarrow sin Q =\dfrac{51}{44}\times sin58^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle Q =79.41^\circ$

Now,

$\angle P +\angle Q +\angle R =180^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle P +58^\circ+79.41^\circ=180^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle P = 42.59^\circ$

Let us use the Sine rule again:

$\dfrac{QR}{sinP}=\dfrac{PQ}{sinR}\\\Rightarrow QR =\dfrac{sinP}{sinR}\times PQ\\\Rightarrow QR =\dfrac{sin42.59}{sin58}\times 44\\\Rightarrow QR = 35.11\ ft$

So, the answer is <em>35.11 ft</em>.

According to scientific research, the probability that a person between the ages of 20 and 25 having high blood pressure, is onl

boyakko [2]

Answer:

<h2>The probability is ${\frac{83}{100} }^9 \times \frac{17}{100}$ + ${\frac{83}{100} }^8 \times {\frac{17}{100} }^2$ + ${\frac{83}{100} }^{10}$ .</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of having high blood pressure is 17%.

We need to find the probability of 2 or fewer have high blood pressure.

Possibility 1: No one have high blood pressure.

The probability is ${\frac{100 -17}{100} }^{10} = {\frac{83}{100} }^{10}$ .

Possibility 2: Only one have high blood pressure.

The probability is ${\frac{83}{100} }^9 \times \frac{17}{100}$ .

Possibility 3: 2 among the 10 have the high blood pressure.

${\frac{83}{100} }^8 \times {\frac{17}{100} }^2$ .

Any of the possibilities can happen.

Hence, the required probability is ${\frac{83}{100} }^9 \times \frac{17}{100}$ + ${\frac{83}{100} }^8 \times {\frac{17}{100} }^2$ + ${\frac{83}{100} }^{10}$ .
