Answer:</h3>
y = 8/9x + 80/9
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
- Equation of a line as 8x -9y -2 = 0
- Coordinates (-1,8)
We are required to determine the equation of a line parallel to the given line and passing through a point (-1,8)
<h3>Step 1: Determine the Gradient of the given line </h3>
- When an equation is written in the form y = mx + c, m is the gradient.
- Therefore; we could write the equation 8x -9y -2 = 0 in the form of y= mx + c
9y = 8x -2
y = 8/9x - 2/9
Therefore, the slope, m = 8/9
<h3>Step 2: Determine the equation of the line</h3>
- We need to know that parallel lines have the same gradient
- Therefore, the slope of the line in question is 8/9
- It passes through a point (-1, 8)
We can therefore, determine the equation;
Taking another point, (x,y)
9(y-8) = 8(x+1)
9y - 72 = 8x + 8
9y = 8x + 8 +72
9y = 8x + 80
y = 8/9x + 80/9
Therefore, the equation of the line is y = 8/9x + 80/9
Answer:
2:2255 3:43
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the measurements to determine the other numbers
Answer:
3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
as jen took 3 hours maryana will take equal amount of time as jen
Q - 756 = 612 |add 756 to both sides
Q - 756 + 756 = 612 + 756
Q = 1368
Answer: Train A = 50 mph; Train B = 30 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case, let's call the speed of both trains as:
Va: speed of train A
Vb: speed of train B
As train A is faster than train B, let's call speed of train B as X; So if Vb is X, then Va would be:
Vb = X
Va = X + 20
If we combine both Speed, we have:
V = Va + Vb = X + X + 20 = 2X + 20
Now that we have an expression for the combined speed, let's recall the formula for speed in general:
V = d/t
Where:
d: distance = 240 miles
t: time = 3 hours
Combining all the data we have:
V = 240/3
but V is 2X + 20 so:
2X + 20 = 240/3
Solving for X:
2X + 20 = 80
2X = 80 - 20
2X = 60
X = 60/2
X = Vb = 30 mph
Now that we know speed of one train, we can know the speed of the other train:
Va = 30 + 20 = 50 mph
