Answer:

y = -(5/4)x - (1 3/4)

Step-by-step explanation:

A line parallel to y= -(5/4)x - 6 will have the same slope, -(5/4), but a different value for the y-intercept, which is -6 in this equation.  This means we can write:

y = -(5/4)x + b

As klong a b is not -6, the line will be parallel.  But we are told that point (5,-8) must be on the new line.  That means we need to select a value of b to make that happen.  By shifting b, we can move the straight line up or down.  To move it so that it goes through (5,8), enter that point in the equation and solve for b:

y = -(5/4)x + b

-8 = -(5/4)*5 + b   for (5,-8)

-8 = -(25/4) + b

b = -8 + (25/4)

b = -(32/4)+(25/4)

b = -(7/4) or - 1 3/4

The parallel line that goes through (5,-8) is y = -(5/4)x - 2

What is the mechanical advantage of a hockey stick that is gripped at point D and hits the puck at point B?
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Mechanical advantage = Effort distance/Resistance distance

Effort distance = D - Fulcrum = 0.5 m

Resistance distance = A - Fulcrum = 2.0 m

Then,

Mechanical advantage = 0.5/2 = 0.25 

Hockey stick is an example of third class where mechanical advantage is less than one as the speed of the end of point A is critical.

Answer:So to get a 6 when rolling a six-sided die, probability = 1 ÷ 6 = 0.167, or 16.7 percent chance. So to get two 6s when rolling two dice, probability = 1/6 × 1/6 = 1/36 = 1 ÷ 36 = 0.0278, or 2.78 percent.
