Answer: y = 4x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:First, you put the equation into the standard “slope/intercept” form.

4x -y = 2 subtract 4x from both sides ; -y = -4x + 2 Multiply by -1 :

y = 4x - 2

In this standard form we see that the slope of the line (coefficient of x) is 4. ANY line parallel to this one must thus also have a slope of 4.

y = 4x - a (generic)

ANY other combination of slope multiples and constant terms will therefore also be lines parallel to this one. The one that passes through a specific point will simply have a different constant term.

We find this by putting our point value into the equation:

3 = 4(-2) + a ; 3 = -8 + a ; a = 11

Thus, our “parallel line equation” through the point (-2,3) is:

y = 4x + 11

Answer:

$y = -\frac{2}{5}\cdot x - 11$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, the slope is determined by using the following expression:

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$m = \frac{-7-(-9)}{-10 - (-5)}$

$m = -\frac{2}{5}$

The y-intercept is found by using the line equation, the slope and one point:

$y = m \cdot x +b$

$b = y - m\cdot x$

$b = -7 - \left(-\frac{2}{5}\right)\cdot (-10)$

$b = -11$

The equation of the line is:

$y = -\frac{2}{5}\cdot x - 11$

The amount of soda a dispensing machine pours into a 12-ounce can of soda follows a normal distribution with a mean of 12.30 oun

Ugo [173]

Answer: A) .1587

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The amount of soda a dispensing machine pours into a 12-ounce can of soda follows a normal distribution with a mean of 12.30 ounces and a standard deviation of 0.20 ounce.

i.e. $\mu=12.30$ and $\sigma=0.20$

Let x denotes the amount of soda in any can.

Every can that has more than 12.50 ounces of soda poured into it must go through a special cleaning process before it can be sold.

Then, the probability that a randomly selected can will need to go through the mentioned process = probability that a randomly selected can has more than 12.50 ounces of soda poured into it =

$P(x>12.50)=1-P(x\leq12.50)\\\\=1-P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\leq\dfrac{12.50-12.30}{0.20})\\\\=1-P(z\leq1)\ \ [\because z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}]\\\\=1-0.8413\ \ \ [\text{By z-table}]\\\\=0.1587$

Hence, the required probability= A) 0.1587

If in triangle ABC, a=5, b=6 and c=8, then cos A is...

s2008m [1.1K]

In a triangle, the nomenclature is that a variable side a is opposite of the angle A. we can use the cosine law to determine the value of cosine A.
a2 = b2 + c2 -2bc cos a25 = 36 + 64 - 2*6*8 * cos acos a = 25/32

when juggling a ball travels in a complete circle every 2 seconds. how many circles does it make in a minute

andrew11 [14]

Answer: It makes 30 circles in a minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Cirle every 2 seconds

A minute is 60 seconds

So you divide those to get your answer

60 divided by 2= 30
