Find an equation of the line passing through the point (−6,−5) that is parallel to the line y=4/3x−5

Answer:

y = $\frac{4}{3}$ x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = $\frac{4}{3}$ x - 5 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = $\frac{4}{3}$

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = $\frac{4}{3}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 6, - 5) into the partial equation

- 5 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = - 5 + 8 = 3

y = $\frac{4}{3}$ x + 3 ← equation of parallel line

Which set of data has the same mode and median?

aliya0001 [1]

The third list. Median is the middle of the list, from greatest to least. The third list has 7 as its median. Ok. Next, the mode is the number that appears the most. 7 appears twice, while the other numbers appear once. Thus, making the third list our answer. :)

Use the given parent function f(x)=|x| to graph g(x)=|x+2|-4. use the ray tool and select two points to graph each ray.

marin [14]

Shown in the attached figure

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The absolute value function is a function that takes the shape of a V. The pattern of the absolute value function is:

$f(x)=\mid x \mid$

So we need to use this function in order to obtain:

$g(x)=\mid x+2 \mid -4$

Recall that to translate a function vertically, we use the following rule:

$g(x)=f(x)+k \\ \\ \bullet \ If \ k>0 \ the \ graph \ of \ f(x) \ is \ translated \ k \ units \ up \\ \\ \bullet \ If \ k$

And to translate a function horizontally, we use the following rule:

$g(x)=f(x+c) \\ \\ \bullet \ If \ c>0 \ the \ graph \ of \ f(x) \ is \ translated \ c \ units \ to \ the \ left \\ \\ \bullet \ If \ c$

Since:

$c=2>0 \ and \ k=-4$

Then:

<em>g(x) is the translation of f(x) 2 units to the left and 4 units down</em>

The perimeter of a triangle is 510 feet and the sides are in the ratio of 11:16:24. Find the area of the triangle

Nutka1998 [239]

If the sides are in the ratio of 11:16:24, it means that they are all multiples of a same number x, according to these factors.

So, the shorter side is 11x feet long, the middle one is 16x feet long, and the longest side is 24x feet long.

This means that the perimeter is

$11x+16x+24x = 51x$ feet long. But we know that this is 510 feet, so we have

$51x = 510 \implies x = \cfrac{510}{51} = 10$ .

So, the three sides are 110, 160 and 240 feet long.

To find the area of a triangle knowing its three sides, you can use Heron's formula, which states that, if $s$ is half the perimeter of the triangle whose sides are $a,b,c$ , the area $A$ is given by

$A = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$

In our case, $s = 255, a = 110, b = 160, c = 240$ so the formula becomes

$A = \sqrt{255(255-110)(255-160)(255-240)} = \sqrt{255(145)(95)(15)} = \sqrt{52689375} \approx 7258.74$
