Hey!

So the first thing you want to do is put the line that you are given in slope-intercept form so that we can find the slope of the line parallel to it. Two lines that are parallel will always have the same slope. So lets start by changing the format of the equation:

-3x + 4y = 4

4y = 3x + 4

y = (3/4)x + 1

Now that we have the equation in slope-intercept form we can see that the slope of the line parallel to this is 3/4. So we already know the slope of the line and a point on the line. We can now plug this point into the equation y = mx + b. Since we also know the slope we can plug that in as well.

0 = (3/4)(4) + b

0 = 3 + b

-3 = b

Now that we know the y-intercept you can plug that and the slope into the y=mx + b equation to get your answer:

y = (3/4)x - 3

Sati [7]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The estimated number:</u>

  • 300 + 200 = 500

<u>The difference between the estimated number an 1000 is:</u>

  • 1000 - 500 = 500

<u>The exact number:</u>

  • 321 + 204 = 525

<u>The difference between the exact number and 1000 is:</u>

  • 1000 - 525 = 475

Average winter temperatures in 45 states were recorded and divided by geographic region. Choose True or False for each statement
san4es73 [151]

Answer: SU, TU, ST is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation: In a triangle

The largest side and the largest angle are opposite to each other

The shortest side and the shortest angle are opposite to each other.

So using the above axioms we can observe the triangle.

The largest angle is m∠U = 80° so the side opposite to it is the largest i.e. ST is the largest

The smallest angle is m∠T = 25° so the shortest side is SU

The third side will be the middle side as the angle ∠S is greater than 25° and less than 80°

So the sides in order from least to greatest are: SU, TU, ST

Antonio is a biologist studying life in a pond. He needs to know how deep the water is. He notices a water lily sticking straigh
quester [9]
For this problem we can represent the situation as a rectangle triangle.
 x: depth of water.
 40: Base. "Antonio pulls the lily to one side, keeping the stem straight, until the blossom touches the water at a spot"
 x + 8: Hypotenuse. "He notices water lily sticking straight up from the water, whose blossom is 8 cm above the water's surface." Antonio pulls the lily to one side, keeping the stem straight, until the blossom touches the water at a spot".
 By the Pythagorean theorem we have:
 x ^ 2 + 40 ^ 2 = (x + 8) ^ 2
 Clearing x:
 x ^ 2 + 1600 = x ^ 2 + 16x + 64
 x ^ 2 - x ^ 2 = 16x + 64 - 1600
 0 = 16x -1536
 1536 = 16x
 1536/16 = x
 x = 96
 answer:
 1) x ^ 2 + 40 ^ 2 = (x + 8) ^ 2
 2) the depth of the water is
 x = 96
