Answer:
x = 1/2 or 2
Step-by-step explanation:
You can factor this as ...
2x^2 -4x -x +2 = 0 . . . rewrite the middle term to enable factoring
2x(x -2) -1(x -2) = 0 . . . . factor by grouping
(2x -1)(x -2) = 0 . . . . factor out (x -2)
x = 1/2, 2 . . . . . . values of x that make the factors zero
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The given line is in slope-intercept form,
y = mx + b,
where m is the slope.
The slope of the given line is 1/3, so m = 1/3.
Parallel lines have equal slopes, so the slope of the parallel line is also 1/3.
y = 1/3 x + b
Now we can find the equation of the parallel line through point (6, 3) by using the given point's coordinates for x and y and solving for b.
3 = (1/3)(6) + b
3 = 2 + b
b = 1
Equation:
