Find the equation of the line through (6,8) which is parallel to the line y=4x−6.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

$y=4x-16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0)
Parallel lines always have the same slope

1) Determine the slope (m)

$y=4x-6$

4 is in the place of m, making it the slope. Because parallel lines have the same slope, the slope of the line is therefore 4. Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :

$y=4x+b$

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

$y=4x+b$

Plug in the given point (6,8) and solve for b

$8=4(6)+b\\8=24+b$

Subtract 24 from both sides to isolate b

$8-24=24+b-24\\-16=b$

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is -16. Plug this back into $y=4x+b$ :

$y=4x-16$

I hope this helps!

Factor out the coefficient of the variable 1/2q plus 5/2

Iteru [2.4K]

I believe you do it like this:
1/2 Q+5/2
divide 1/2 into each term
to divide multiply by the reciprocal
1/2 x2/1= 1
5/2 x 2/1=5

1/2(Q+5)

A village was founded four hundred years ago by a group of 20 people. In this village, the population triples every one hundred

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Treat this like compound interest: Use A = P(1 + r)^t.

Here, P is the initial population and A is 3 times that, or 3P. Since P = 20 people, 3P = 60 people,

and this population is reached after 100 years.

We need to determine r, substitute its value into the formula A = P(1 + r)^t, and then determine the population of the village after 400 years.

60 = 20(1 + r)^100

Simplifying, 3 = (1 + r)^100.

Taking the natural log of both sides,

ln 3 = 100 ln (1 + r), or

ln 3

ln (1 + r) = ---------------

100

= 1.0986 / 100 = 0.01986

We must solve this for r. Raising e to the power ln (1 + r), on the left side of an equation, and raising e to the power 0. 01986 on the right side, we get:

1 + r = 3, so r must = 2.

Now find the pop of the village today. Use the same equation: A = P (1+r)^t.

A = 20(1 +2)^4 (hundreds),

or

A = 20(3)^4, or

A = 81

The population after 400 years is 81.
