Write an equation of the line that contains point (-5,2) and is parallel to the y-axis

Answer: x = -5 (rewritten: x + 5 = 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must take into account that the line is parallel to the y-axis. If a line is parallel to the y-axis, it is vertical, meaning that for every y-value, there can only be one x-value. Since the question contains a point that the line passes through, which is (-5, 2), we know that for every y-value of the line, the x-value will always equal -5. Thus, the equation of the line must be x = -5 (or, rewritten, x + 5 = 0).

steposvetlana [31]

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since \overline{GH} \parallel \overline{DE}, by the corresponding angles theorem, \angle FGH \cong \angle FDE, \angle FHG \cong \angle FED. This means \triangle FGH \sim \triangle FDE by AA.

As corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional,

\frac{10}{x+3}=\frac{10+x}{12}\\(10)(12)=(10+x)(x+3)\\120=x^{2}+13x+30\\x^{2}+13x-90=0\\(x+18)(x-5)=0\\x=-18, 5
However, as distance must be positive, we consider the positive solution, x=5.

Therefore, the answer is <u>5</u>

Which is the initial value that shrinks an exponential growth function by 50%?
ValentinkaMS [17]
Suppose that the exponential growth function is  y = 4^x.

If x = 1, then y = 4^1 = 4.
If x = 3, then y = 4^3 = 64.

Let the initial value be 1/2.

The growth function is now y = 1/2 * 4^x.

If x =1, then y = 2 which is half of the y value before adding the 1/2.

If x = 3, then y = 1/2 * 64 = 32.

Answer: 1/2
