Answer:

\sf y = \bold -\frac{2}{5} x -3

Explanation:

part A identification for slope:

\sf 2x + 5y = 15

\sf 5y = -2x + 15

\sf y = \frac{-2x + 15}{5}

\sf y = -\frac{2 }{5} x+3

comparing with slope intercept form: y = mx + b

we can find that here the slope is \bold -\frac{2}{5}

part B, solving the equation:

if the line is parallel, then the slope will be same.

given coordinates: ( - 10, 1 )

using the equation:

y - y₁ = m( x - x₁ )

\sf y - 1 = \bold -\frac{2}{5} (x --10)

\sf y = \bold -\frac{2}{5} x -4 + 1

\sf y = \bold -\frac{2}{5} x -3

Extra information:

check the image below. this proves that the line is parallel and passes through point (-10, 1). the blue line is question line and red the answer line.

Solution:

<u>Step-1: Convert the line into slope intercept form.</u>

  • 2x + 5y = 15
  • => 5y = -2x + 15
  • => y = -0.4x + 3

<u>Step-2: Use the point slope form formula.</u>

  • y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
  • => y - 1 = -0.4{x - (-10)}
  • => y - 1 = -0.4{x + 10}
  • => y - 1 = -0.4x - 4
  • => y = -0.4x - 3

A model of a plane is made using a scale of 1:5. If the wings of the model are 1.2m long, what is the actual length of the wings
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

  6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply your scale by 1.2 m:

  1 : 5 = 1.2 m : 6.0 m

The wings on the plane are 6.0 m long.

Peeta says that because there are 5,280 feet in 1 mile, there are more than 25,000 feet in 5 miles. Is peeta correct? Explain. P
leonid [27]
Peeta is correct because when you multiply 5,280 by 5, you get 26,400 which is more than 25,000.

Instructions: Find the missing length indicated.
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

? = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel segments shown divide the sides in the ratio

\frac{6}{4} = \frac{?}{2} ( cross- multiply )

4? = 12 ( divide both sides by 4 )

? = 3

A circle with radius 3 has a sector with central angle 1/9 pi radians what is the area of the sector
dem82 [27]

Answer:

The area of the sector is  \frac{\pi}{2}\ units^2

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the area of complete circle

A=\pi r^2

we have

r=3\ units

substitute

A=\pi 3^2\\A=9\pi\ units^2

step 2

Find the area of the sector

we know that

The area of complete circle subtends a central angle of 2π radians

so

using proportion

Find out the area of a sector by a central angle of 1/9 pi radians

\frac{9\pi}{2\pi}=\frac{x}{\frac{1}{9}\pi} \\\\x=9\pi(\frac{1}{9}\pi})/2\pi\\\\x=\frac{\pi}{2}\ units^2
