Yes but a vertical line cannot because the slope m is undefined.

Select the coordinates of two points on the line y = -2.

GaryK [48]

Y=-2 is a horizontal line, each point which lies on this line has the y-coordinate -2.
Only in option C both points have the y-coordinate equal to -2.
The answer is C.

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation that passes through the point (4,-6) and is parallel to the line y = -3/4x - 5

Karolina [17]

The equation that runs through the location (4,-6) has the slope-intercept form, $y=-\frac{3}{4}x-3$ .

<h2>Formation of the equation</h2>

A line's equation written in the slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

where m= slope & b= y-intercept

The slope of two parallel lines is equal.

Currently, we know the line's equation:

$y=-\frac{3}{4} x-5$

here, slope, m= $-\frac{3}{4}$

A line equation is created by adding the slope's value and the point's coordinates (4, -6):

$-6=-\frac{3}{4}(4)+b$

⇒ -6=-3 +b [adding 3 to both sides]

⇒-3=b

⇒b= -3

Hence the solution is $y=-\frac{3}{4}x-3$ .

Determine the equation of the circle graphed below .

Volgvan

Answer:

(x+1)^2 + (y-7)^2 = 2^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The center of the circle is at (-1,7) and the radius from the center to the edge is 2, so the equation should look like (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

You would flip the signs of the center so that when you solve the equation it ends up in the correct place.

Lela and Pepe are playing a video game. The ratio of Lela’s game score to Pepe's score is 2 : 5. Then Lela completes a quest and

Fed [463]

Answer: Lela's original score was 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright lets get started.

Suppose Lela score was L.

Suppose Pepe score was P.

The ratio of Lela’s game score to Pepe's score is $2:5$

So the equation will be

$\frac{L}{P} = \frac{2}{5}$

Cross multiplying

$5\times L=2\times P$

$P=\frac{5\times L}{2}$ .................equation 1

Then Lela completes a quest and scores 12 bonus points. The new ratio becomes $7:10$

$\frac{L+12}{P} =\frac{7}{10}$

Cross multiplying

$10(L+12)=7P$

Plugging value of P from equation 1

$10(L+12)= 7\times\frac{5L}{2}$

$20L+240=35L$

$15L=240$

$L=16$

Hence the score of Leela originally was 16. Answer
