<u>(Note: this answer is assuming that the equation has to be put in slope-intercept format.)</u>

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{5}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Let's use the point-slope formula to determine what the answer would be. To do that though, we would need two things: the slope and a point that the equation would cross through. We already have the point it would cross through, (-3,-4), based on the given information. So, in the next step, let's find the slope.

2) We know that the slope has to be parallel to the given line, y = \frac{1}{2}x - 8. Remember that slopes that are parallel have the same slope - so, let's simply take the slope from the given equation. Since it's already in slope-intercept form, we know that the slope then must be \frac{1}{2}.

3) Finally, let's put the slope we found and the x and y values from (-3, -4) into the point-slope formula and solve:

(y- (-4))  = \frac{1}{2} (x - (-3))\\y + 4 = \frac{1}{2} (x + 3))\\y + 4 = \frac{1}{2}x+ \frac{3}{2} \\y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{3}{2} - 4\\y =  \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{3}{2} - \frac{8}{2} \\y = \frac{1}{2}x - \frac{5}{2}

Therefore, y = \frac{1}{2}x - \frac{5}{2} is our answer. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!

The length of an arc of a circle is 7.34 units, and the measure of the corresponding central angle is 81 degrees. What is the ap
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

A.  5.19 units

Step-by-step explanation:

\textsf{Arc length}=2 \pi r\left(\dfrac{\theta}{360^{\circ}}\right) \quad \textsf{(where r is the radius and}\:\theta\:{\textsf{is the angle)}

Given:

  • \theta = 81°
  • Arc length = 7.34 units

Substituting given values into the equation and solving for r:

\implies 7.34=2 \pi r\left(\dfrac{81^{\circ}}{360^{\circ}}\right)

\implies 7.34=r\left(\dfrac{18 \pi}{40}\right)

\implies 7.34 \cdot 40=18 \pi r

\implies 293.6=18 \pi r

\implies r=\dfrac{293.6}{18 \pi}

\implies r=5.19 \sf \: units \:(2\:dp)
