Use y = mx + b to determine the equation of a line that passes through the point A(-1, 4) and is

Shalnov [3]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are looking for a line parallel to the given line, we need to find the slope of the given line, since parallel lines have the exact same slope. That means that we need to solve this equation for y, which naturally puts the line into slope-intercept form. Solving for y:

-2y = -4x - 8 and

2y = 4x + 8 so

y = 2x + 4 and the slope, we see here, is 2. Use that slope and the given point of (-1, 4) to write the new equation we need.

In point-slope form, the line will be

y - 4 = 2(x - (-1)) which simplifies a bit to

y - 4 = 2(x + 1). That's point-slope form. Putting it into slope-intercept just requires that we solve this equation for y:

y - 4 = 2x + 2 and

y = 2x + 6. That's slope-intercept form of the same line. The last form is standard, which looks like this:

-2x + y = 6 or, if you don't like to lead with a negative,

2x - y = -6

Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius. A student discovered that adding half a cup of salt to a gallon of water lowers its freezing
Artemon [7]

Answer:

-7°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Freezing point of water = 0°C

By adding salt, freezing point lowers by 7°C ;

The freezing point of salt water can be expressed as ;

Since temperature lowers :

Freezing point of salt water :

Freezing point of water - 7°C

0°C - 7°C

= - 7°C

Yin wants to create figure Y′ that is similar to figure Y. Yin begins by reflecting figure Y across the y-axis.
Sholpan [36]

Answer: B) Dilate by scale factor of 2

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

Explanation:

Your teacher isn't saying this directly, but I'm assuming s/he wants you to find a similar figure that isn't congruent to the original. Informally, your teacher seems to want you to find a figure that is the same shape but not the same size as the original.

If so, then any dilation will shrink or enlarge the image depending on the scale factor. So the new image will not be the same as the old one. In this case, a dilation with scale factor 2 means the new figure is twice as large (each side is twice as long). But the old image is similar to the new image. The angles keep their values and therefore we get the same shape. This is why choice B is the answer. Again this is assuming what I mentioned in the first paragraph.

Choices A, C, and D are all known as rigid transformations and they preserve the same size of the figure. Applying any of those operations will lead to the same figure (just rotated, reflected or shifted somehow). In other words, applying operations A,C, or D will have us get two congruent triangles. If two triangles are congruent, then they are automatically similar, but not vice versa. This is why we can rule out A,C, and D.
