Mathematics

likoan [24]3 years ago
6 0

Step-by-step explanation:

3 in to 5 ft

so, one basic unit in the drawing is in fact 3 inches.

how many base units fit into the numbers ? these factors need then to be multiplied with the base units of 5 ft for reality.

6 inches high

6 / 3 = 2

so, the elephant is 2 units high, which means in reality 2×5 = 10 ft high.

10.8 inches long

10.8 / 3 = 3.6

so, the elephant is 3.6 units long, which means in reality 3.6×5 = 18 ft long.

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (–2, 2)?
uysha [10]

Answer:

y = 1/5 x + 12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for the equation of a line.

We satart with the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line.

y = mx + b

We need to find m, the slope, and b, the y-intercept.

The given line is y = 1/5 x - 3.

Its slope is 1/5.

Parallel lines have equal slopes, so the slope we need is also 1/5.

Now we have for our line

y = 1/5 x + b

Now we find b.

We are given a point on the line, (-2, 2). Using the slope we already know, plug in (-2, 2) in the equation and solve for b.

2 = 1/5 * (-2) + b

10 = -2 + 5b

12 = 5b

b = 12/5

Now that we know the y-intercept, we can write the equation of the line.

y = 1/5 x + 12/5
