Answer:

y = - 3x + 5

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 = - 3x + 8 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, then

y = - 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (2, - 1) into the partial equation

- 1 = - 6 + c ⇒ c = - 1 + 6 = 5

y = - 3x + 5 ← equation of line

Calculate the value of the exterior angle

aev [14]

What we know is that the sum of a triangle's internal angles are 180º, and a straight angle makes 180º.

first, we have to find the third internal angle(let's call it n) so that we can use it to find the exterior angle.

(3x + 20) + (4x + 5) + n = 180

simplify:

7x + 25 + n = 180

7x + n = 155

n = 155 - 7x

Now we can add it to the external angle to find x.

(155 - 7x) + (8x + 15) = 180

simplify:

170 + 8x - 7x = 180

170 + x = 180

x = 10

Now we can substitute it to the external angle.

8 x 10 + 15 = 95

the exterior angle is 95º.

A sheet metal manufacturer is making 10-gauge sheet metal, which is supposed to be 3.416 mm thick. One of the pieces of manufact

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to evaluate if thickness of a 10 gauge metal sheet is a requiered in the process that means 3.416 mm thick. So that should be our null hypothesis; μ₀ = 3.416 and based on sample data, we will formulate an alternative hypothesis taking into account the mean, and standard deviation obtained. We surely will have better information to take a decision

If an open box has a square base and a volume of 115 in.3 and is constructed from a tin sheet, find the dimensions of the box, a

Karolina [17]

Let h = height of the box,
x = side length of the base.

Volume of the box is $V=x^{2} h = 115$ .
So $h = \frac{115}{ x^{2} }$

Surface area of a box is S = 2(Width • Length + Length • Height + Height • Width).
So surface area of the box is
$S = 2( x^{2} + hx + hx) \\ = 2 x^{2} + 4hx \\ = 2 x^{2} + 4( \frac{115}{ x^{2} } )x$
$= 2 x^{2} + \frac{460}{x}$
The surface are is supposed to be the minimum. So we'll need to find the first derivative of the surface area function and set it to zero.

$S' = 4x- \frac{460}{ x^{2} } = 0$
$4x = \frac{460}{ x^{2} } \\ 4x^{3} = 460 \\ x^{3} = 115 \\ x = \sqrt[3]{115} = 4.86$
Then $h= \frac{115}{4.86^{2}} = 4.87$
So the box is 4.86 in. wide and 4.87 in. high.
