Answer:

y=-\frac{3}{2}x+12

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We want to write the equation of a line parallel to y=-\frac{3}{2}x-1 and that passes through the point (4,6)

Parallel lines have the same slopes, but different y intercepts.

The slope of the equation y=-\frac{3}{2}x-1 is -\frac{3}{2}, since the equation is written in y=mx+b format (m is slope and b is y intercept), and -\frac{3}{2} is in the place where m is.

It's also the slope of the line parallel to it.

So we know the slope of the new line, let's write it down:

y=-\frac{3}{2}x+b

Let's find b, in order to complete the equation

Since the equation passes through the point (4, 6), we can use it to solve for b.

Substitute 4 as x and 6 as y into the equation:

6=-\frac{3}{2}(4)+b

Multiply

6=-6+b

Add 6 to both sides

12=b

Substitute 12 as b in the equation.

y=-\frac{3}{2}x+12

Hope this helps!

Find the midpoint of the line segment joining the points (5,6) and (-1,-6).
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The midpoint is (2,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the midpoint, add the x coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

(5+-1)/2 =4/2 =2

To find the y coordinate of the midpoint, add the y coordinates of the endpoint and divide by 2

(6+-6)/2 =0/2 =0

The midpoint is (2,0)

Annabella time for a race was 24.2 seconds. Another runnee's time was 6.43 seconds faster write and evaluate an equation with to
liberstina [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Annabella time for a race is 24.2 seconds, if another runnee's time was 6.43 seconds faster, then the time taken for another  runnee's time will be 24.2 - 6.43 = 17.77secs.

Let a variable X be the difference between annabelle's time and the other runners time.

X = annabelle's time  - other runners time.

X = 24.2 - (24.2 - 6.43)

X = 24.2-24.2+6.43

X = 6.43seconds

Hence the expression between annabelle's time and the other runners time is X = 24.2 - (24.2 - 6.43)

<em>The difference between annabelle's time and the other runners time is 6.43seconds</em>
