Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

The first choice (y = 2x) is NOT the blue line because it has twice of the slope of the line y=x. That is, for a given positive x value the graph of y= 2x appears above the black line which is not the case for the blue line shown.

The second choice (y =.001x) is a possibility but the multiplier .001 is so small I think the graph of that line would be "close" to the x-axis. I don't think it's the blue line.

y = -x. Now here we can say NO! That line goes through the origin all right but has a slope of -1 so is heading "downward" from left to right. That is not the blue line either.

Well, then, it seems that the last equation ( y = 1/2x) is the only remaining reasonable answer.

Regards, MrB.

Answer:

y = 2x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope, so the line will also have a slope of 2

Plug in the slope and given point into y = mx + b to solve for b:

y = mx + b

3 = 2(5) + b

3 = 10 + b

-7 = b

Then, plug in the slope and b into y = mx + b

y = 2x - 7 is the equation of the line

I need help ASAP help me plzzzzzz

The answer is A because you need to find the unit rate of each cost
Since $2.80 is for 2 liters, do 2.80/2 which equals 1.4. So that’s the cost for one liter
Then, 6 half liter bottles is just 3 liters because 6*1/2= 3. Then to find the unit rate for that, do 3.90/3 which equals 1.3.
So the first option is $1.40 per liter and the second option is $1.30 per liter so the first option is more expensive- the 2-liter bottle, and the cost for that is 1.40
Hope this helps:))

Which number produces an irrational number when added to 0.4

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

0.31311311131111....

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to tell a number which when adds to 0.4 makes it a Irrational Number . We know that ,

Rational number :- The number in the form of p/q where p and q are integers and q is not equal to zero is called a Rational number .

Irrational number :- Non terminating and non repeating decimals are called irrational number .

Recall the property that :-

Property :- Sum of a Rational Number and a Irrational number is Irrational .
