Answer:

\displaystyle y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5 = –⅔[–3] + b

2

\displaystyle 3 = b \\ \\ y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 3

Parallel equations have <em>SIMILAR RATE OF CHANGES</em> [<em>SLOPES</em>], so <em>–⅔</em> remains as is.

I am joyous to assist you at any time.

Answer:

The equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is parallel to y= - 2/3x is \mathbf{y=-\frac{2}{3}x+3 }

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is parallel to y= - 2/3x

The equation in slope-intercept form is: y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Finding Slope:

The both equations given are parallel. So, they have same slope.

Slope of given equation y= - 2/3x is m = -2/3

This equation is in slope-intercept form, comparing with general equation  y=mx+b where m is slope , we get the value of m= -2/3

So, slope of required line is: m = -2/3

Finding y-intercept

Using slope m = -2/3 and point (-3,5) we can find y-intercept

y=mx+b\\5=-\frac{2}{3}(-3)+b\\5=2+b\\ b=5-2\\b=3

So, we get b = 3

Now, the equation of required line:

having slope m = -2/3 and y-intercept b =3

y=mx+b\\y=-\frac{2}{3}x+3

The equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is parallel to y= - 2/3x is \mathbf{y=-\frac{2}{3}x+3 }

HELP PLEASE! Write a quadratic function that passes through the point (-1,9), has an axis of symmetry of x=-3 and a minimum valu
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{2}x^{2} - 3x + 11.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertex form of a quadratic equation;

y = a( x - h )^{2} + k

Vertex of the parabolas (h, k)

The vertex of the parabola is either the minimum or maximum of the parabola. The axis of symmetry goes through the x-coordinate of the vertex, hence h = -3. The minimum of the parabola is the y-coordinate of the vertex, so k= 7. Now substitute it into the formula;

y = a ( x + 3 ) ^{2} + 7

Now substitute in the given point; ( -1, 9) and solve for a;

9 = a( (-1 ) + 3)^2 + 7\\9 = a (2)^{2} + 7\\9 = 4a + 7\\-7           -7\\2 = 4a\\\frac{1}{2} = a\\

Hence the equation in vertex form is;

y = \frac{1}{2}(x - 3)^{2} + 7

In standard form it is;

y = \frac{1}{2}x^{2} - 3x + 11.5

The dimensions of a triangular prism are shown.
Serhud [2]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  B.  32 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of the two triangular faces has an area of ...

  A = (1/2)bh = (1//2)(6 in)(4 in) = 12 in²

The lateral surface area is the product of the prism height (0.5 in) and the perimeter of the base.

  LA = (0.5 in)(5 in +5 in + 6 in) = 8 in²

So, the total area is the area of the two base and the lateral area:

  SA = 2A +LA

  SA = 2(12 in²) +8 in² = 32 in²

The surface area of the prism is 32 square inches.

Which sentence uses present tense?
mamaluj [8]
As for this problem, the answer would most probably be and most likely be C. The piles of bones foreshadow Fortunato's fate.

In the first option, symbolizing wasn't used in present tense but a simple mixing of present and past tense. The more appropriate form of the sentence would be "The catacombs was dark and cold which symbolized death." This would be a lot more understandable and it will not create confusion to the readers because of the inconsistency of the usage of tenses. The second option and the last option would be both in past tenses. The correct one is used in plural present form.
