Instructions: Find the equation of the line through point (−4,1) and parallel to y=−12x−2. Use a forward slash (i. e. "/") for fractions (e. g. 1/2 for 12). Y=

y = - 12x - 47

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 12x - 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 12

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = - 12x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 4, 1 ) into the partial equation

1 = 48 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 48 = - 47

y = - 12x - 47 ← equation of parallel line

the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. if you take the three sides of a triangle and add them in pairs, the sum is greater than (not equal to) the third side. if that is not true, then it is not possible to construct a triangle with the given side lengths.

step-by-step explanation:

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
