Answer:

y = x/2 - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the slope of the given equation: x - 2y = 8

Subtract x from both sides

x - 2y = 8

- x        - x

-2y = 8 - x

Divide both sides by -2

-2y/-2 = (8 - x)/-2

y = -4 + x/2

The slope of this equation is 1/2

So the equation of our parallel equation is y = x/2 + b

We have to find b, so plug in the given coordinates

-6 = 2/2 + b

-6 = 1 + b

Subtract 1 from both sides

-6 = 1 + b

- 1    - 1

b = -7

Plug it back into the original equation

y = x/2 - 7

4. If you spin the spinner twice, what is the probability that the spinner will land on 5 on the first spin and 2 on the second
uysha [10]

Answer:

1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in comment:

5,4,3,2 = Spinner

Thus, there are 4 possible answer

Given:

If you spin the spinner twice, what is the probability that the spinner will land on 5 on the first spin and 2 on the second spin?

1/16

3/16

1/8

1/4

Solve:

Knowing that there only <u>One 5 and One 2 on the spinner.</u>

Thus, in fraction form - 1/4 and 1/4

Probability land on 5 = 1/4

Probability land on 2 = 1/4

Because there are 4 possible solution and one of each is 5,4,3,2

Now, multiply then together:

1/4 × 1/4 = {1 ×1 = 1 and 4 × 4 = 16}

Put Together:

1/16

Hence, the answer is " The Probability that the spinner will land on 5 on the first spin and 2 on the second spin is 1/16
