Answer: y=-5x-36

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for two lines to be parallel they need to have the same slope. so the slope (m) of the new line needs to be -5.

slope(m) =-5

and the point (-8,4) is given to us. we can create a new equation for a line using the point slope formula because we have a slope (m=-5) and a point (-8,4)

point slope formula: y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-4=-5(x--8)

simplify and pay attention to negative signs

y-4=-5(x+8)

y-4=-5x-40

y=-5x-36

A cube-shaped box has a volume of 1/8 of a cubic meter. What is the perimeter of each of its

belka [17]

Given:

The volume of a cube-shaped box is $\dfrac{1}{8}$ cubic meter.

To find:

The perimeter of each of its faces.

Solution:

Let "a" be the side length of the cube shaped box. Then the volume of the box is:

$V=(side)^3$

$V=a^3$

It is given that the volume of a cube-shaped box is $\dfrac{1}{8}$ cubic meter.

$a^3=\dfrac{1}{8}$

Taking cube root on both sides, we get

$a=\dfrac{1}{2}$

Now, the perimeter of each face of a cube is:

$P=4a$

Where, a is the side length of the cube.

Putting $a=\dfrac{1}{2}$ , we get

$P=4\times \dfrac{1}{2}$

$P=2$

Therefore, the perimeter of each face of a cube-shaped box is 2 meters.

Based on the diagram shown, all of the following are true statements except

ira [324]

You are correct. The answer is choice C.

The other choices A, B, D have each side add up to 180 degrees either because the angles are a linear pair (adjacent and supplementary) or because the angles are same side interior angles. Same side interior angles are supplementary if a transversal line cuts through a pair of parallel lines as so happens in this diagram.
