What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is

Mathematics
1 answer:
True [87]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The required slope is equal to -1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation of line is :

x + 2y = 10

A line parallel to this line has the same slope. To determine the slope, solve for  y  to change the equation to slope-intercept form:

y = mx+b .....(1)

2y = 10 -x

Dividing both sides by 2.

y=(-\dfrac{1}{2})x+10 ....(2)

Comparing equations (1) and (2),

m = -1/2

Hence, the required slope is equal to -1/2.

Clyde Cement wants to analyze a shipment of bags of cement. He knows the weight of the bags is normally distributed so he can us
avanturin [10]
The percentage of the bags of cement that would weigh less than 50 lbs. would be 50% because the normal distribution is symmetrical, and since the mean is your midpoint, then it would be 50% higher, and 50% lower.

if he allows 40 people to choose a treat from the bag about how many lizard lollis can he expect to give away
kirill [66]

Answer:

20 Lizard lollies.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 10 lizard lollis.  This is out of 10+4+6 = 20 total treats.  This makes the probability of drawing a lizard lollis 10/20 = 1/2.

This means out of 40 treats handed out, we can expect him to give out 1/2(40) = 20 lizard lollis.

Which constant could each equation be multiplied by to eliminate the x variable in this system of equations? 4x + 5y = 62 5x − 3
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Multiply equation 4x+5y=62 by 5 and 5x-3y=22 by 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Equations are 4x+5y=62,5x-3y=22

To find: constant by which each equation should be multiplied to eliminate the variable x in the given system of equations

Solution:

4x+5y=62...(i)\\5x-3y=22...(ii)

Multiply equation (i) by 5 and (ii) by 4 to get the following equations:

20x+25y=310\\20x-12y=88

On subtracting these equations, we get

(20x+25y)-(20x-12y)=310-88\\\\13y=222

So, the variable x gets eliminated
