Answer:

$y = 5x - 42$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of parallel line differ only by their constant.

Hence, the equation of the line parallel to $y = 5x - 2$ is nothing but $y = 5x + c$

When a point passing through this line is given we can substitute the point in this line and get the value for $c$ .

The line passes through $(8 , -2)$ .

Therefore, we have: $-2 = 5(8) + c$

$\implies c = -42$ .

Substituting this we get the equation of the parallel line as $y = 5x - 42$ .

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\sf \ \ x = -\dfrac{\sqrt{33}+1}{4} \ \ or \ \ x = \dfrac{\sqrt{33}-1}{4} \ \ }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please find below my work.

$2x^2+x-4=0\\\\\text{*** divide by 2 both sides ***}\\\\x^2+\dfrac{1}{2}x-2=0\\\\\text{*** complete the square ***}\\\\x^2+\dfrac{1}{2}x-2=(x+\dfrac{1}{4})^2-\dfrac{1^2}{4^2}-2=0\\\\\text{*** simplify ***}\\\\(x+\dfrac{1}{4})^2-\dfrac{1+16*2}{16}=(x+\dfrac{1}{4})^2-\dfrac{33}{16}=0$

$\text{*** add } \dfrac{33}{16} \text{ to both sides ***}\\\\(x+\dfrac{1}{4})^2=\dfrac{33}{16}\\\\\text{**** take the root ***}\\\\x+\dfrac{1}{4}=\pm \dfrac{\sqrt{33}}{4}\\\\\text{*** subtract } \dfrac{1}{4} \text{ from both sides ***}\\\\x = -\dfrac{1}{4} -\dfrac{\sqrt{33}}{4} \ \ or \ \ x = -\dfrac{1}{4} +\dfrac{\sqrt{33}}{4}$

Hope this helps.

Hunter is copying an angle. His work so far follows. Explain the importance of his next step, which is drawing a line through A

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

This is the other ray that will make up the angle ∠AYZ and will complete the construction.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point of the construction is to copy the angle. That is, the end result must be an angle with identical measure to the original. The construction so far has no angle at Y. Drawing ray YA will complete the construction and create the desired angle. That is, YA ...

This is the other ray that will make up the angle ∠AYZ and will complete the construction.
