Answer:

The equation of a line that is parallel to line a is y=½x + 2, or what is the same -½x+y-2=0

Step-by-step explanation:

A line is a polynomial function of the first degree that has the following form:

y = m * x + b

where m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept with the Y axis. The slope is the inclination of the line with respect to the abscissa axis.

In this case you know that the slope of line a is ½.

Parallel lines are two or more lines in a plane that never intersect. Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and different y-intercepts.

You have:

y+½x=2 → y= -½x +2
-2x+y+2=0 → y=2x -2
2x-2=y

-½x+y-2=0 → y=½x + 2

The line that has the same slope as line a is the last one, so the equation of a line that is parallel to line a is y=½x + 2, or what is the same -½x+y-2=0

What is the domain of the function graphed below?

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

x < 7

Step-by-step explanation:

the domain is the number range or interval of x the function is defined for to generate a y-value.

the graph shows that the y-values continue with x-values to the right up to but not including 7 (the empty dot says "excluding"). and with x- values to the left to negative infinity.

x=-1 is not a problem, because while for the left part of the function it is not included, but for the right part it is.

so, it is fully defined for all x < 7.

Find the vertex of this parabola. y = -2x2 + 4x + 12

STatiana [176]

For this case we have the following equation:
$y = -2x ^ 2 + 4x + 12
$
Deriving we have:
$y = -2x ^ 2 + 4x + 12

y '= -4x + 4$
We match zero:
$-4x + 4 = 0
$
We clear the value of x:
$4x = 4

x = 4/4

x = 1$
Then, we substitute the value of x in the equation of the parabola:
$y = -2 (1) ^ 2 + 4 (1) + 12

y = -2 + 4 + 12

y = 14$
Thus, the vertex of the parabola is the ordered pair:
$(x, y) = (1, 14)$
Answer:
The vertice is:
$(x, y) = (1, 14)$
