Answer:

y = 3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel to each other, they have the same slope.

The first line is Y = 3X - 5. Its slope is 3. A line parallel to this one will also have a slope of 3.

Plug this value (3) into your standard point-slope equation of y = mx + b.

y = 3x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, it is (0, 1). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

1 = 3(0) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x (0)

1 = 0 + b

Now, add 0 to both sides to isolate b.

1 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = 3x + 1

This equation is parallel to your given equation (y = 3x - 5) and contains point (0, 1)

Hope this helps!

These two triangles can be shown to be congruent using which transformation?

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

This is B) A reflection over the y-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell this in a picture due to the fact that each point on the corresponding triangle is equidistant from the y-axis. Take the point at the bottom for instance. In both pictures, it is 2 spaces away from the y axis.

what is the y-intercept of the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line y=3/5x+10 and passes through the point (15

ohaa [14]

The slope of the given line is the coefficient of x, 3/5. The slope of the perpendicular line will be the negative reciprocal of that: -1/(3/5) = -5/3.

The point-slope form of the equation for a line of slope m through point (h, k) can be written ...

... y = m(x -h) +k

For your point and the slope found above, this becomes

... y = (-5/3)(x -15) -5

When x=0, this is

... y = (-5/3)(-15) -5 = 20

The y-intercept is 20.

Let us analyze the following setting. You are given a circle of unit circumference. You pickkpoints on the circle independently

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

We have been given a unit circle which is cut at k different points to produce k different arcs. Now we can see firstly that the sum of lengths of all k arks is equal to the circumference:

$\small \sum_{i = 1}^{k} L_i= 2\pi$

Now consider the largest arc to have length \small l . And we represent all the other arcs to be some constant times this length.

we get :

$\small \sum_{i = 1}^{k} C_i.l = 2\pi$

where C(i) is a constant coefficient obviously between 0 and 1.

$\small \sum_{i = 1}^{k} C_i= 2\pi/l$

All that I want to say by using this step is that after we choose the largest length (or any length for that matter) the other fractions appear according to the above summation constraint. [This step may even be avoided depending on how much precaution you wanna take when deriving a relation.]

So since there is no bias, and \small l may come out to be any value from [0 , 2π] with equal probability, the expected value is then defined as just the average value of all the samples.

We already know the sum so it is easy to compute the average :

$\small L_{Exp} = \frac{2\pi}{k}$

46 Two light houses ash their lights every 30 seconds and 40 seconds respectively. Given that they last ashed together at 10:40

IRISSAK [1]

30,60,90,120
40,80,120

they will both " ash " in 120 seconds (thats 2 minutes)...so they will both ash at
10:42 a.m.

LaTasha was presented with the following data set and argued that there was no correlation between x and y. Is LaTasha correct?

andrezito [222]

Answer:

LaTasha is correct. There is no correlation between x and y. The slope of the line of best fit is zero, which shows that there is no negative or positive correlation.
