Given:

Equation of a line is

3x-4y=8

To find:

The equation of line in slope intercept form that is parallel to line a and goes through point (24, 6).

Solution:

If a linear equation is ax+by+c=0, then

Slope=-\dfrac{a}{b}

In the equation 3x-4y=8, a=3 and b=-4, thus the slope of the line is

Slope=-\dfrac{3}{-4}

Slope=\dfrac{3}{4}

We know that, slope of two parallel lines are same. So, slope of parallel line is

m=\dfrac{3}{4}

The parallel line passes through (24, 6) and have slope m=\dfrac{3}{4}, so the equation of line is

y-6=\dfrac{3}{4}(x-24)

y-6=\dfrac{3}{4}(x)-\dfrac{3}{4}(24)

y-6=\dfrac{3}{4}(x)-18

Add 6 on both sides.

y=\dfrac{3}{4}(x)-18+6

y=\dfrac{3}{4}(x)-12

Therefore, the equation of parallel line in slope intercept form is y=\dfrac{3}{4}(x)-12.

A cube and a square pyramid were joined to form the composite solid.
Yakvenalex [24]
We know that
<span>total surface area of the composite solid=surface area of the pyramid+surface area of the cube

surface area of the pyramid=4*area of lateral triangle side
area of lateral triangle side=12*9/2----> 54 in</span>²
surface area of the pyramid=4*54---> 216 in²

surface area of the cube=5*[12*12]----> 720 in²

total surface area of the composite solid=216 in²+720 in²---> 936 in²

the answer is the option
<span>936 square inches </span>

A clock loses 1 second every minute. It is set to the correct time at 10 AM on February 4. In which month is the next day on whi
Kruka [31]
<h3>Answer: The month of April</h3>

More accurately: The correct time will be shown on April 4th if it is a leapyear, or April 5th if it is a non-leapyear. It takes 60 days for the clock to realign, which is the same as saying "the clock loses 24 hours every 60 days".

===================================================

Explanation:

The following statements shown below are all equivalent to one another.

  • Clock loses 1 second every 1 minute (original statement)
  • Clock loses 60 seconds every 60 minutes (multiply both parts of previous statement by 60)
  • Clock loses 1 minute every 1 hour (time conversion)
  • Clock loses 60 minutes every 60 hours (multiply both parts of previous statement by 60)
  • Clock loses 1 hour every 2.5 days (time conversion)
  • Clock loses 24 hours every 60 days (multiply both parts of previous statement by 24)

Use a Day-Of-Year calendar to quickly jump ahead 60 days into the future from Feb 4th (note how Feb 4th is day 35; add 60 to this to get to the proper date in the future). On a leapyear (such as this year 2020), you should land on April 4th. On a non-leapyear, you should land on April 5th. The extra day is because we lost Feb 29th.

The actual day in April does not matter as all we care about is the month itself only. Though it's still handy to know the most accurate length of time in which the clock realigns itself.
