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

Murrr4er [49]

The term (2 + 8) is described as the total amount of pieces of fabric. It makes it easier to put this term this way so you wouldn't have to do (8 x 5) + (2 x 5) and do the distributive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

88 blue marbles, 55 green marbles, and 88 red marbles =231 marbles

P (blue or red marble) = number of red or blue/ total

= 88+88 / 231

=176/231

F(x)=12x2-4x-8. G(x)=11x-6

AlekseyPX

Answer: Second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the functions f(x) and g(x):

$f(x)=12x^2-4x-8\\\\g(x)=11x-6$

You need to divide them in order to find $(\frac{f}{g})(x)$ asked in the exercise. Then:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x) =\frac{12x^2-4x-8}{11x-6}$

Now, it is important to remember that, by definition, the division by zero is not defined. Therefore, the denominator of the function cannot be zero.

Let's find the value of "x" for which the denominator of the function would be zero:

1. You need to make the denominator equal to zero:

$11x-6=0$

2. Finally, you must solve for "x":

$11x=6\\\\x=\frac{6}{11}$

Therefore, as you can see, the answer is:

$(\frac{f}{g})(x) =\frac{12x^2-4x-8}{11x-6}$ , $x=\frac{6}{11}$
