Find the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y=-7x+2 and passes through (-6,-3)

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: y=-7x-45

Explanation: Two parallel lines have the same slope, so that means the slope of the line would be -7. When you add that value to your equation, that would give you: y=-7x+b. Now that you have the slope, the only other value you’re missing is b. To find the value of b, you can substitute any point into the equation that’s on the line and solve for b:

-3=-7(-6)+b
-3=42+b
b=-45

Now that you have the value of b, substitute it into the final equation:

y=-7x-45

Solve for A in the equation AB + CD + EFG = Z.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

A = (Z-CD - EFG)/B

Step-by-step explanation:

AB + CD + EFG = Z.

Subtract CD and EFG from each side

AB + CD + EFG-CD -EFG = Z-CD - EFG

AB = Z-CD - EFG

Divide each side by B

AB /B = (Z-CD - EFG)/B

A = (Z-CD - EFG)/B

Determine the number that will complete the square to solve the equation after the constant term has been written on the right s

klemol [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, "the constant term has been written on the right side", it means that we add 18 to both sides to get.

$x^2+3x-18=0\\\\x^2+3x=18\\\\\text{We can see the beginning of } (x+\dfrac{3}{2})^2 \\\\x^2+3x=(x+\dfrac{3}{2})^2-\dfrac{3^3}{2^2}=18\\\\(x+\dfrac{3}{2})^2=18+\dfrac{9}{4}=\dfrac{18*4+9}{4}=\dfrac{81}{4}$

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

Decrease 248 by 30%

Snowcat [4.5K]

Okay this equation really says is what is 30% of 248.

So, lets convert 30% to a fraction, 3/10 which is easier to work with.

All you have to do now is get out a calculator and do 248 *3/10 (or .3) and get 74.4

So subtract 74.4 and get

173.6

Express each fraction as a percent 7/20

Sergio [31]

<span>To find out what percent 7 out of 20 is, we need to ask: 7 out of 20 is how many out of 100? 5 groups of 20 make 100, so 7 out of 20 is 35 out of 100 (5 x 7 out of 5 x 20). Therefore 7/20 equals 35%, or 0.35 if we represent it as a decimal. I hope this helps</span>

When all the variables cancel out in an equation, how do you know if there are no solutions or infinite solutions?

Ivahew [28]

If a number equals the same number, there are infinite solutions
Example: 5=5, which is true, so there are infinite solutions
If a number equals a different number, there are no solutions
Example: 5=2, which isn’t true
