A line, y mx + b, passes through the point (2, 3) and is parallel to y 2x + 5. What is the value of b?​

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If a line is parallel to another it must have the same slope

The slope/intercept form of a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b the y intercept

The line y = 2x + 5 has slope 2

So the slope of the line that passes through (2,3) must also have the slope 2

We have
y = 2x + b; Substituting x =2, y =3 in this equation gives us
3 = 2 (2) + b or b = -1

Hence the equation of the line is
y = 2x -1

Cross-check

Substitute for x = 2 ==> y = 2(2) - 1 = 3 which is consistent

What number should be placed in the box to help complete the division calculation? Long division setup showing an incomplete cal

Answer:

The unknown value is being subtracted from 226 is 160

Step-by-step explanation:

Long division setup showing an incomplete calculation

  • 16 is in the divisor
  • 3426 is in the dividend
  • 2 hundreds and 1 tens is written in the quotient
  • 3200 is subtracted from 3426 to give 226
  • An unknown value represented by a box is being subtracted from 226

so,

The dividend = 3426

 The divisor = 16

2 hundreds means 200 and 1 tens means 10

∵ The quotient = 200 + 10 + x

∵ Dividend = divisor × quotient

∴ (16 × 200) + (16 × 10) + (16 × x) +remainder  = 3426  

∵ 16 × 200 = 3200

Subtract 3200 from the dividend  

∴ 3426 - 3200 = 226

∵ 16 × 10 = 160

∴ 226- 160 = 66

⇒160is the unknown value

∵ 16 × x = 16x  

∵ 66 - 16x = 0

∴ 66 = 16x

- Divide both sides by 16

∴ x = 4  and remainder = 2

∴ 3426 ÷ 16 = 200 + 10 + 4

∴ 3426 ÷ 16 = 214  

∴ From the steps above the missing number subtracted from

  226 is 160

The unknown value is being subtracted from 226 is 160
