Answer:

y = 2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

6x - 3y = 15 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

- 3y = - 6x + 15 ( divide all terms by - 3 )

y = 2x - 5 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 2

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 2, 4) into the partial equation

4 = - 4 + c ⇒ c = 4 + 4 = 8

y = 2x + 8 ← equation of parallel line

The answer is FALSE. Theorem, as applied in mathematics, is a statement that has been proved having a basis of laborious mathematical reasoning. The statement that is assumed to be true without proof is called axiom or postulate. Theorems are proved using axioms.
