Answer:

$\displaystyle y = -\frac{1}{5} x +6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a LIne

The point-slope form of the equation of a line is:

y - k = m ( x - h )

Where m is the slope and (h,k) is a point through which the line passes.

We are required to find the equation of a line that passes through the point (-5,7) and is parallel to the line x+5y=10.

This information provides us the values of h=-5 and k=7. We now need to determine the value of the slope.

Two parallel lines have equal values for the slopes. The equation of the line

x + 5y = 10

Can be rearranged in such a way we can find its slope. Let's solve it for y:

5y = -x + 10

$y = -\frac{1}{5}+2$

The slope of this line is -1/5 and that is the same value of the slope of our line, thus its equation is:

$\displaystyle y - 7 = -\frac{1}{5} ( x + 5 )$

Adding 7:

$\displaystyle y = -\frac{1}{5} ( x + 5 )+7$

Operating:

$\displaystyle y = -\frac{1}{5} x + -\frac{1}{5}*5 +7$

$\displaystyle y = -\frac{1}{5} x -1+7$

$\boxed{\displaystyle y = -\frac{1}{5} x +6}$

Which expdession is equivalent to 4-2(3x-5)

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Your answer would be 0 because you have to subtract 3 by 5 you get the answer 2. Then you subtract 4 by 2 and you 2. After that you multiply 2 by 2 getting the answer 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

X^a times X^b = X^a + b

so 4x times 6x = 24x^(1+1)

What is the radius of a sphere if its surface area is 2,122.64 square inches? (Use 3.14 for π.) 11 in. 13 in. 121 in. 169 in.

crimeas [40]

To solve this, we are going to use the surface are of a sphere formula: $A=4 \pi r^2$
where
$A$ is the surface area of the sphere
$r$ is the radius of the sphere

We know for our problem that $A=2122.64$ and $\pi =3.14$ , so lets replace those vales in our formula:
$A=4 \pi r^2$
$2122.64=4(3.14)r^2$
$2122.64=12.56r^2$
Now, we just need to solve our equation for $r$ :
$\frac{2122.64}{12.56} =r^2$
$r^2=\frac{2122.64}{12.56}$
$r^2=169$
$r=+or- \sqrt{169}$
$r=13$ or $r=13$
Since the radius of a sphere cannot be a negative number, $r=13$ .

We can conclude that the radius of a sphere with surface area 2,122.64 $in^2$ is 13 in.

Problem is Sin38-cos52

Paha777 [63]

Notice that 38 and 52 make a total of 90
sinA=cos(90-A)
sin38=cos52, therefore the answer is zero
