What is the equation of the line parallel to 3x + 5y = 11 that passes through the point (15, 4)?

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

To find the equation of the parallel line we must first find the slope of the original line

The original line is 3x + 5y = 11

We must first write the equation in the general equation above

So we have

5y = - 3x + 11

Divide both sides by 5

Comparing with the general equation above

Slope = - 3/5

Since the lines are parallel their slope are also the same

Slope of parallel line = - 3/5

So the equation of the line using point

(15, 4) and slope - 3/5 is

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Find f(-5) and f(12) for each piecewise function f(x){-4x+3 if x<3

Law Incorporation [45]

<h3>Answers:</h3>

f(-5) = 23
f(12) = 433

==================================================

Explanation:

The given piecewise function is

$f(x) = \begin{cases}-4x+3 \ \text{ if } \ x < 3\\-x^3 \ \text{ if } \ 3 \le x \le 8\\3x^2+1 \ \text{ if } \ x > 8\end{cases}$

At first piecewise functions may be strange confusing things, but they aren't so bad. I like to think of it like this: f(x) is a function that changes its identity based on what the input x is. We have three situations

f(x) = -4x+3 when x < 3
f(x) = -x^3 when $3 \le x \le 8$
f(x) = 3x^2+1 when x > 8

In a sense, we have three different functions but they are combined somehow.

If x is smaller than 3, then we go for the first definition. Or if x is between 3 and 8, then we go for the second definition. Or if x is larger than 8, then we go for the third definition.

-----------------------

f(-5) means f(x) when x = -5. We see that -5 is smaller than 3, so x = -5 makes x < 3 true. We'll use the first definition

f(x) = -4x+3

f(-5) = -4(-5)+3

f(-5) = 20+3

f(-5) = 23

------------------------

Now the input is x = 12. This is larger than 8. In other words, x = 12 makes x > 8 true. We'll use the third definition

f(x) = 3x^2+1

f(12) = 3(12)^2+1

f(12) = 3(144)+1

f(12) = 432+1

f(12) = 433

------------------------

Side notes:

We won't use the second definition since we don't have any x inputs between 3 and 8
To say "less than or equal to" on a keyboard, you can write "<=" without quotes. For example, $x \le 5$ is the same as x<=5
