answer:

y=2x+6

solution:

Alright, since the line is PARALLEL, the slope will remain the same. let call the # we will add to that b (like the 5 in y=2x+5).

so the formula will be y=2x+b

to find be, we will plug in one of the ordered pairs

6=2(0)+b

6=0+b

b=6

So, our equation is y=2x+6

to check:

(-3,0)

0=2(-3)+6

0=-6+6

0=0

Answer:

y = 2x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for this is y=mx+b, m being for slope and b being the y-intercept.

The first and easiest way to figure out this first is by finding the slope. Now because you have the information that it needs to be parallel, it's very fast and simple. Parallel means that it has the same slope and the lines will never cross each other. So, since the slope for this is 2, the new line you will be making will also have a slope of 2.

EXTRA NOTE- if it were perpendicular, you'd want to do the opposite reciprocal. Instead of being 2, it'd be -1/2, but luckily we're just dealing with parallel.

Now we need to find what the y-intercept is. Since math basically has a formula for everything, you will be using y-y(1)= m(x-x(1)). Now that looks slightly confusing, but basically you will just plug your y value into the y(1) and x coordinate into x(1) to simplify into slope intercept form (don't forget your slope!). It's always easier to use positive numbers for this, so I'll be using the coordinates (0, 6) and plug it in.

REMEMBER- coordinates are (x, y). Don't get it mixed up!

1. Write out your equation: y - 6 = 2 ( x - 0 )

2. Distribute: y - 6 = 2x - 0

3. Add 6 to the other side to get into your slope intercept form:  y = 2x + 6

And that's how you get your line. Hope this helped and made at least some sense. :)

Sin C = AB / AC
We have AC. We need to calculate AB

ABC is a right triangle. Therefore, AC² = AB²+BC²
82² = AB ² + 80² => AB² = 82² - 80²
AB = 18

Sin C = 18/82 = 9/41

Good luck

Tomb trees are standing side-by-side in the sunlight one is 50 feet tall and the other is 20 feet tall if the taller tree cast a
8090 [49]

Answer: Length of shorter tree = 7.2 feet .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Height of two trees as 50 feet and 20 feet.

At same time the angle made by sun rays would be same for both trees.

Both trees are vertical to the ground making right angle so triangles made by both triangles must be similar.

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

So \dfrac{\text{length of the shadow of the shorter tree}}{\text{height of shorter tree}}=\dfrac{\text{length of the shadow of the bigger tree}}{\text{height of bigger tree}}\\\\=\dfrac{\text{length of the shadow of the shorter tree}}{20}=\dfrac{18}{50}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{length of the shadow of the shorter tree}=\dfrac{18}{50}\times20\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{length of the shadow of the shorter tree} = 7.2

So, Length of shorter tree = 7.2 feet .
