What line is parallel to 2x+5y=6 that goes through (5,3)
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

4y = x - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, in the equation given : 2x + 5y = 6 , make y the subject of the formula which will give y = \frac{-2x}{5} + \frac{6}{5}  which make the gradient, m, the coefficient of x = \frac{-2}{5}  . Since the line we're looking for is parallel to the one we were given, their respective gradients would be the same. (If they were perpendicular, the gradient of the new line would be a negative inverse of the given line)

Then you proceed to use the one-point formula : y - y₀ = m(x - x₀), where   y₀ = 3 and x₀ = 5 from the point it goes through (5, 3)

y - 3 = \frac{1}{4}(x - 5); y - 3 = \frac{x}{4} - \frac{5}{4};  y = \frac{x}{4} - \frac{5}{4} +3

y = \frac{x}{4} - \frac{17}{4};  y = \frac{x-17}{4}  ;   4y = x - 17

Write an exponential function to represent a person consuming a bag of candy in which the initial value in an is 175 pieces and
Alisiya [41]

We will see that the exponential decay function is:

f(x) = 175*(0.8)^x

<h3>How to find the exponential decay?</h3>

The general exponential decay is:

f(x) = A*(1- r)^x

Where:

  • A is the initial value.
  • r is the rate of decay in decimal form.
  • x is the variable, in this case is the time.

Here we know that the initial value is 175, and the rate of decay is 20%. To get this in decimal form, we just divide it by 100%.

20%/100%  = 0.2

Replacing that in the exponential function, we get:

f(x) = 175*(1 - 0.2)^x

f(x) = 175*(0.8)^x

Given that PS is a median of triangle PQR, find RQ<br> A.6<br> B.12<br> C.19<br> D.38
Zinaida [17]
The median triangle is a line segment that connects the vertex and the midpoint of the opposite side. Therefore, in the given, we can say that RS = QS

Equating RS and QS, we will find the value of X

RS = QS 
5x-11 = 2x+7
5x-2x = 7+11    ⇒ combine like terms
3x = 18             ⇒ divide both sides by 3 to get the x value 
x = 6

Find the value of RS and QS, in this, we will show that two are equal

5(6)-11 = 2(6)+7
19 = 19  ⇒ correct

Therefore RQ is the sum of RS and QS or simply twice the length of either segment

RQ = 19 x 2 = 19 + 19 = 38 (D)

If (4,y) is a solution to x-2y = 6, what is the value of y?
frutty [35]

Answer:

(4, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

(4, y) is a solution to x - 2y = 6.

Find the value of y:

4-2y=6\\\\4-4-2y=6-4\\\\-2y=2\\\\\frac{-2y=2}{-2}\\\\\boxed{y=-1}

The value of y is '-1'.

(4, -1) is a solution to the equation.

Hope this helps.
