let's solve for b :

$m = \dfrac{1}{2} (a + b)$

$2m = a + b$

$b = 2m - a$

proved....

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to y=6x−1 and passes through the point (−3,4)?

BabaBlast [244]

Answer: y = 6x + 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have same slope. So, a line parallel to y = 6x − 1 is y = 6x + c.

Now to find c, put (-3,4) to this equation since the line passes through the point.

4 = 6 × -3 + c

4 = -18 + c

4 + 18 = c

c = 22

So, equation is y = 6x + 22

What does a proportion look like?

AURORKA [14]

A proportion looks like this:

$a\div b = c\div d$

It means that the quantity a,b,c and d are in the same proportion: the ratio between a and b is the same ratio between c and d.

They are particularly useful in situation when you have an example given, and you want to extrapolate the relationship for another couple.

For example, you can think of the following problem: "Five apples cost 2 dollars. How much will 8 apples cost?"

You can build the proportion

$5\div 2 = 8\div x$

And then solve it for x:

$\dfrac{5}{2}=\dfrac{8}{x} \iff 5x=16 \iff x = \dfrac{16}{5} = 3.2$

An escalator lifts people to the second floor of a building 25 feet above the first floor. The escalator rises at a 30 degree an

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

50 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The side lengths in a 30-60-90 triangle have the ratios 1 : √3 : 2. The longest side is 2 times the length of the shortest side.

In this geometry, that means the length of the escalator is 2 times its height, so is ...

x = 2(25 ft)

x = 50 ft . . . . . distance a person travels
