Answer:
8125, im pretty sure this is right
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we obtain the gradient (slope) of the first parallel line

Recall that since both lines are parallel, we have that,

Thus

Hence, we can find the equation of the parallel line given that it passes through the points (-4, -3)
Using
Since beta is in the first quadrant, the final answer will be positive.
To find cos(beta) so we can use the half angle identity, we can substitute into the Pythagorean identity. Doing so gives us that

So, this means that

Answer:
A) 4
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways to get this but this is how I did it:
1. Multiply the second equation by 1/4 to get the same fraction for y as the one in the first equation
1/4 x + 1/8 y = 2
1/4 (1/3 x + 1/2 y = 4)
1/12 x + 1/8 y = 1
2. Subtract the first equation from the new equation
1/12 x + 1/8 y = 1
<u> - 1/4 x - 1/8 y = -2</u>
-1/6 x= -1
3. Divide both sides by -1/6
<u>-1/6</u> x= <u>-1</u>
-1/6 -1/6
x = 6
4. Substitute 4 in for x in the original equation:
1/4 (6) + 1/8y = 2
6/4 + 1/8y = 2
1/8y = 1/2
y = 4
