What is an equation of the line thatpasses through the point (-1,-3) and is parallel to the line 4x-y=2?

Explanation:

First, you put the equation into the standard “slope/intercept” form.

4x -y = 2 subtract 4x from both sides ; -y = -4x + 2 Multiply by -1 :

y = 4x - 2

In this standard form we see that the slope of the line (coefficient of x) is 4. ANY line parallel to this one must thus also have a slope of 4.

y = 4x - a (generic)

ANY other combination of slope multiples and constant terms will therefore also be lines parallel to this one. The one that passes through a specific point will simply have a different constant term.

We find this by putting our point value into the equation:

3 = 4(-2) + a ; 3 = -8 + a ; a = 11

Thus, our “parallel line equation” through the point (-2,3) is:

y = 4x + 11

y = 4x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

first put the equation 4x-y=2 into the form y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (for example, y = 2x - 1 would have 2 is the slope and -1 is the y-intercept)

4x - y = 2

subtract 4x from both sides

-y = -4x + 2

multiply both sides by -1

y = 4x - 2

That means the slope of this line is 4.

Parallel lines always have the same slope, so the slope of the new line is also 4. You can again put the new equation into the form y = mx + b. You already know that the slope is 4, so y = 4x + b.

Next, you need to find b. You know that (-1, -3) is a solution, so if you plug x = -1 and y = -3 into the equation, it should be true.

You can put that into the equation to solve for b:

-3 = 4 * -1 + b

-3 = -4 + b

1 = b

This means the equation is y = 4x + 1

something that characterises a right triangle is the fact that we may use pythagoras' theorem to find any one of its sides given that we have the length of the other two sides. here, we have the length of the hypotenuse, √(87) yd, and one other side, √(23) yd, thus we can easily find the length of the remaining side using pythagoras' theorem as defined below:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.

thus, given that c = √(87) and a = √(23), we may substitute these into the formula we defined above to get:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

(√87)^2 = (√23)^2 + b^2 (substitute c = √87 and a = √23 into the equation)

87 = 23 + b^2 (evaluate (√87)^2 = 87 and (√23)^2 = 23 - remember that the square root of a number, squared will equal that very same number)

64 = b^2 (subtract 23 from both sides)

√64 = b (take the square root of both sides)

8 = b (evaluate √64 = 8)

therefor, the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle is 8 yd (first answer).

answer: ouch. thats difficult
