Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the line:

3x-6y=18

And we want to find the slope of the line parallel to this given line.

Remember that parallel lines have the same slope. So, if we can determine the slope of the given line, we have the slope of its parallel line.

To determine the slope of the given line, we simply have to isolate the <em>y</em>. So, we can first divide everything by 3. This yields:

x-2y=6

Adding 2<em>y</em> to both sides yields:

x=6+2y

And subtracting 6 from both sides yields:

x-6=2y

Finally, dividing everything by 2 gives us:

\displaystyle y=\frac{1}{2}x-3

Hence, the slope of our line is 1/2.

So, the slope of the line parallel to this line must also be 1/2.

If 0.00005893 is expressed in the form 5.893 × 10n, what is the value of n ?
yan [13]
In the scientific value of 5.893 x 10n. The standard value is 0.00005893 what is n? To better illustrate this phenomenon, we can explain it further under the rules of scientific notation.
For example. <span><span>
1. </span><span> 3 x 10^3 = 3 x 100 = 300</span></span>
<span><span>2. </span><span> 3 x 10^-3 = 3 x 0.001 = 0.003</span></span>

Solution:
0.00005893 = 5.893 x 0.00001 = 5.893 x 10^-5  
n= ^-5

In the triangle shown above m∠B = 114°, m∠C = 22°, and b = 12 in. What is the approximate length of side a? A. 15.78 in B. 9.12
Elena L [17]

The approximate length of side a is 9.12 in. The correct option is B. 9.12 in

<h3>Law of Sines </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the approximate length of side a

From the given information, we have that

m∠B = 114°, m∠C = 22°

Thus,

m∠A = 180° - (114° + 22°)

m∠A = 180° - 136°

m∠A = 44°

Now,

From the law of sines, we have that

a/sinA = b/sinB

Then,

a/sin44° = 12/sin114°

a = (12 ×sin44°)/sin114°

a = 9.12 in

Hence, the approximate length of side a is 9.12 in. The correct option is B. 9.12 in
