Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf y=\frac {1}{4}x-2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given a point and a slope, we can use the point-slope formula.

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

where m is the slope and (x₁ , y₁) is the point the line passes through.

We know the point is (4, -1).

We have to find the slope. We know that the line is parallel to y=1/4x.

This line has a slope of 1/4 (1/4 is the coefficient of x), and parallel lines have the same slope. Therefore, the line we are finding also has a slope of 1/4.

So, we know that:

  • m=1/4
  • x₁= 4
  • y₁= -1

Substitute these values into the formula.

y--1=\frac{1}{4}(x-4)

Now we must put the equation into slope-intercept form, or y=mx+b. We have to isolate y on one side of the equation.

First, distribute the 1/4. Multiply each term inside the parentheses by 1/4.

y--1=(\frac {1}{4}*x )+(\frac{1}{4} * -4)\\y+1= \frac {1}{4}x-1

1 is being added to y. The inverse of addition is subtraction, so subtract 1 from both sides of the equation. This will leave the variable y by itself.

y+1-1= \frac {1}{4}x-1-1

y=\frac {1}{4}x-1-1\\y=\frac {1}{4}x-2

The equation of the line is <u>y=1/4x-2</u>

In the circle, measure of Arc BC = 62°. The diagram isn't drawn to scale. what is the measure of Arc BCP?
bonufazy [111]
PQ is the tangent, therefore you can use a theorem: The arc measure is double the amount of the angle the tangent makes.

So: 62/2=31

There is a 12-ft fence on one side of a rectangular garden. The gardener has 44 ft of fencing to the enclose the other three sid
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

  16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the other three sides is 12 ft. After that fence is subtracted from the total, there are 32 ft of fence left for the other two sides of the rectangle. That allows those sides to be 32 ft/2 = 16 ft long.

The rectangle can be 12 ft by 16 ft. The longer dimension is 16 ft.

faust18 [17]

You just need to plug those expressions inside the formula: it doesn't matter if they're expressions involving a variable instead of plain numbers: the formula becomes


V = \pi (x+8)^2(2x+3)


If you want, you can simplify it by expanding the square and then multiply the two parenthesis:


V = \pi (x^2+16x+64)(2x+3) = \pi (2 x^3 + 35 x^2 + 176 x + 192)
