Answer:

Option C: y=-1/2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the options:

A) y=2x+5

B) y=-1/2x+4

C)y=-1/2x+8

D)y=-2x+5

But first let's define what parallel even is. When two lines are parallel it means that there slope is the same value and the same sign, while there y-intercepts are different, because if they were the same, then they wouldn't be parallel, they would just be the same exact line.

So we're given the equation in standard form. To find the slope we can change it so it's in the form of y=mx+b. This can be done by simply isolating y. The reason we want it in the slope-intercept form is because m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept. m is the slope because as x increases by 1 the y-value will increase by m. So the "rise" will be m and the "run" will be 1, thus the slope will be m/1 or in other words m because the slope is defined as rise/run. So let's start the steps to isolating y

Original equation

2x+4y=16

Subtract 2x from both sides

4y=-2x+16

Divide both sides by 4

y = -1/2x + 4

Here we have it in slope-intercept form. In this case the slope, or m, is -1/2 and the y-intercept or b is 4. So now let's look at the other equations.

Option A: This equation has a slope of 2, which is not the same as -1/2 so it is not parallel

Option B: This equation has a slope of -1/2 which is the same as -1/2 so it might be parallel. But look at the y-intercept it's 4, that's the same y-intercept as the original equation. This means the two equations are equal and not parallel

Option C: This equation has a slope of -1/2 which is the same as -1/2 so it might be parallel. It has a y-intercept of 8 which is not the same as 4, so the two lines are parallel and not equal! This is the answer

Write an equation of the line that passes through the points (2,5), (0,5)​
KatRina [158]

Answer:

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. This line is horizontal, because the y-coordinate never changes.

2. The equation for a horizontal line is y = (y-coordinate)

3. The y-coordinate is always 5, so the equation is y = 5.

The sum of two numbers is 21. the second number is six times the first number.
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Therefore first number is 3 and second number is 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of the two numbers is 21 and Second number is six times the first number

x+6x = 21

 7x = 21

x = 21/7

x = 3

substitute x value in 6x to find second number,

 = 6x

 = 6*3

 = 18

Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points)
ICE Princess25 [194]

The answer would be A) The product of a constant factor of four and a factor with the sum of two terms.

The expression 4(y + 6) is the product of two factors: 4 and (y + 6).

4 is a constant factor; the value will remain as 4 regardless of the y value.

The second factor, (y + 6), represents a sum of two terms: y and 6.

Therefore, A is the correct answer.
