Answer:

y = - x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the below formula to find the equation of a line.

y = m x + c

Here,

m ⇒ slope

c ⇒ y - intercept

We know that , if two lines are parallel to each other, it means that the slopes of two lines are also equal.

Therefore, according to the question we have to find the y - intercept in order to write the equation of the line.

For that, you can use the given coordinate of the new line.

<em>Also, as the two lines are parallel, the slope of the new line is (-1 ).</em>

Let us solve now.

( -6 , 8 ) ⇒ ( x , y )

y = m x + c

8 = -1 × -6 + c

8 = 6 + c

8 - 6 = c

2 = c

And now let us write the equation of the line.

y = m x + c

y = - x + 2

Hope this helps you :-)

Let me know if you have any other questions :-)

Answer:

y = -x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines that are parallel have the same slope but different

y-intercepts.

So the slope of the parallel line is -x

We can input the x and y points given to solve for the new y-intercept

y = -x + b
8 = -(-6) + b
8 = 6 + b
b = 2

The new line is y = -x + 2. Since these two lines are the same, they are coinciding lines.

kkurt [141]

Answer: $f(t) = 4000000000( 1 .019)^t$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, According to the question, The population of the world is 4 billion (approx).

Again According to the question, The world's population has grown at an average rate of 1.9 percent per year since 1945.

Therefore, after 1975 the growth rate will remains same.

Thus, the population of the world after t years,

$f(t) = 4000000000( 1+\frac{1.9}{100} )^t$ (By the formula $A = P(1+\frac{r}{100})^t$ )

⇒ $f(t) = 4000000000( 1.019 )^t$

Where 1.019 is the growth rate and 4 billion is the initial population.

A bag with 12 marbles has 3 red marbles and 5 yellow marbles. A marble is chosen from the bag at random. What is the probability

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

3/12 = 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 marbles in the bag. If the marble drawn at random is red, it is one of the 3 red marbles.

The probability is "3 out of 12" = 3/12 which simplifies to 1/4.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

1) 250 meters= 0.25 km

2) 12 meters= 0.012km

3) 1 meter= 0.001 km

The constant of proportionality is 1000 meters in 1km (1000 meters)

I think there’s a mistake on the second part because 1 meter does not equal to 1000km. but I did part 1 for you!

Maria has a bag with 6 red marbles , 6 blue marbles , and 4 green marbles . Without looking Maria pick one marble. She does not

podryga [215]

40%

The probability of her getting a red marble is the number of red marbles divided by the number of total marbles. Since she picked a green marble first, we must subtract one marble from the total number of marbles, so that the total # of marbles is 6 + 6 + 4 = 16 - 1 (green marble) = 15. Since there are 6 red marbles, our probability is 6/15 or 2/5. Converted to percentage form, this is 0.4 —> 40%
