find y=mx+b for line parallel to AB.

The line that is parallel will have the same slope as line AB:

the slope of line AB is

m=(8-3)/(-10-2)

=5/-12

=-5/12

Since the line going through X is parallel the vertical distance of the new line to AB is the same for all values of the domain(x-axis).

at x=-5 the point X has the y value of 10 which is 4 more than the y value for AB based on the graph.

To find the intercept b of the line going through X that is parallel to AB we just add 4 to the intercept of AB, which is 4 so

4+4=8

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

subtract 8 from both sides

8-2x-8=-4x+4-8

simplify

-2x=-4x-4

add 4x to both sides

-2x+4x=-4x-4+4x

Simplify

2x=-4

divide both sides by 2

2x/2=4/2

simplify

x=-2

What is the change in y- values for every two units of x-values?

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The graph of $y\:=\:\frac{1}{2}x$ is also attached below, which indicates that there is a change of only one unit on the y-axis for every two units of x-values.

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is a change in x values, it is basically a horizontal change. horizontal change between two values is also called the run.

And the vertically change between two values is also called the rise.

The slope is basically the ratio of the vertical (rise) and horizontal (run) changes between two points on a line.

For example, consider the equation

$y\:=\:\frac{1}{2}x$

$\mathrm{Slope\:of\:}\frac{1}{2}x:\quad m=\frac{1}{2}$

Here fore every two units of x-values, one units are moved on the y-axis.

In other words, there is a change of only one unit on the y-axis for every two units of x-values.

The graph of $y\:=\:\frac{1}{2}x$ is also attached below which is showing this.

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$if~it ~is ~y+\frac{y}{a} =b\\then~\frac{ay+y}{a} =b\\ay+y=ab\\ y(a+1)=ab\\ y=\frac{ab}{a+1} \\$

$z-a=\frac{z}{b} \\z-\frac{z}{b} =a\\ \frac{bz-z}{b} =a\\bz-z=ab\\z(b-1)=ab\\z=\frac{ab}{b-1}$

The probability that Brock scores a penalty kick is LaTeX: \frac{3}{10}3 10 . If he shoots 50 penalty kicks, how many "goals" ca

Feliz [49]

Answer:

15 goals out of 50 penalty kicks was scored by brock

Step-by-step explanation:

If Brock shoots 50 penalty kicks and the probability that he scores a penalty kick is 3/10, the number of goal brock is expected to make can be expressed as:

Number of goals scored = probability value * total penalty kicks taken

Number of goals scored = $\frac{3}{10}*50$

Number of goals scored = $15 goals$
