If the line passing through the points (a, 1) and (−2, 6) is parallel to the line passing through the points (−12, 9) and (a + 2, 1), what is the value of a?

Scores on the cognitive scale of the bayley-scales of infant and toddler development range from 1 to 19, with a standard deviation of 3. calculate the margin of error in estimating the true mean cognitive scale score, with 99% confidence, if there are 12 infants and toddlers in a sample.

Which answer goes into the box? (90° clockwise rotation, 90° counter clockwise rotation, translation, or glide reflection)

Aspacecraft can attain a stable orbit 300 kilometers above earth if it reaches a velocity of 7.7 kilometers per second. the formula for a rocket's maximum velocity v in kilometers per second is vequalsminus0.0098tplusc ln upper r, where t is the firing time in seconds, c is the velocity of the exhaust in kilometers per second, and r is the ratio of the mass of the rocket filled with fuel to the mass of the rocket without fuel. find the velocity of a spacecraft whose booster rocket has a mass ratio of 20, an exhaust velocity of 2.1 km/s, and a firing time of 15 s. can the spacecraft achieve a stable orbit 300 km above earth?
