Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of line ST = Slope of line PQ = -3.

y = -3x + c

When x = 3, y = -1

=> (-1) = -3(3) + c, c = 8

Therefore the equation of line ST is y = -3x + 8 and the y-intercept is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

The given equation of line PQ is :

y = -3x -12.

Comparing the equation with y = mx + c. We get;Slope (m1)= -3

We know the condition of parallel lines is slope of 1st line = slope of 2nd line. (i.e m1=m2).

Therefore, slope of PQ= slope of ST = -3.

Now, The point through which ST passes is (3,-1) and we found its slope as -3.

So, let's use one point formula.

$(y - y1) = m2(x - x1)$

$(y + 1) = - 3(x - 3)$

$y + 1 = - 3x + 9$

$y = - 3x + 8$

Comparing the equation with y = mx+c. We get y-intercept is "8".

Therefore, y-intercept is "8".

If a 100.8g cement bag has 20.35 kg removed from it. what is the new weight of the bag

kykrilka [37]

100.80 kg - 20.35 kg = 80.45 kg . . . . the new weight of the bag

It's a pretty straightforward subtraction problem. As with any decimal addition or subtraction, you line up the decimal points and extend any numbers with zeros to make the number of decimal places match.

Triangle PQR is a right triangle. if PQ= 8 , what is PR?

Norma-Jean [14]

It is 30-60-90 triangle, so:

$PR=\dfrac{PQ\cdot\sqrt{3}}{2}=\dfrac{8\cdot\sqrt{3}}{2}=\boxed{4\sqrt{3}}$

What is the equation of a line, in point slope form that passes through (-2, -6) and has a slope of 1/3

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The equation of a line, in point slope form that passes through (-2, -6) and has a slope of 1/3 is $y+6=\frac{1}{3}(x+2)$

Solution:

Given that line passes through (-2, -6) and has slope of 1/3

We have to find the equation of the line

The point slope form is given as

$y-b=m(x-a)$

where m is the slope of the line and a, b are the x, y coordinates of the given point through which the line passes.

Here in this question, m = 1/3 and a = -2 and b = -6

By substituting in point slope form we get,

$y - (-6) = \frac{1}{3}(x - (-2))\\\\y + 6 = \frac{1}{3}(x + 2)$

Hence the equation of a line, in point slope form that passes through (-2, -6) and has a slope of 1/3 is $y+6=\frac{1}{3}(x+2)$
