Answer:

(5, 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the x- coordinate of the point into the equation to evaluate the y- coordinate, that is

x = 5 : y = (2 × 5 ) - 1 = 10 - 1 = 9 → B

Hence the coordinates of the point are (5, 9 )

Answer:

$y=-\frac{1}{4}x+2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: $y=mx+b$ where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0)
Parallel lines always have the same slope

1) Determine the slope of line S using line R (m)

$y=-\frac{1}{4} x+3$

We can identify clearly that the slope of the line is $-\frac{1}{4}$ , as it is in the place of m. Because parallel lines always have the same slope, the slope of line S would also be $-\frac{1}{4}$ . Plug this into $y=mx+b$ :
