The general equation for slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m = the slope of the equation, b = the y intercept, and x and y are your variables (and the coordinate points on the graph). 

Remember that for parallel lines, the slope, m, is the same for both equations. The equation you're given, y = 2x - 2, is already in slope-intercept form and the 2 in front of x is m, your slope. That means for whatever equation we come up with, m has to be 2. 

So far we know the equation for our parallel line is y = 2x + b. How do we figure out b? Plug in the (x, y) coordinate you're given, (1, 1) and solve for b:
y = 2x + b\\
1 = 2(1) + b\\
1 = 2 + b\\
b = -1

Now we know b = -1. Put that into our y = 2x + b equation to get the final equation of your parallel line: 
Your final answer is y = 2x - 1.

A dolphin is swimming 20 feet below the surface. It descends another 10 feet before rising 2
andrezito [222]

Answer:

28 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

20 + 10 = 30 - 2 = 28 feet

The dolphin is 20 feet below the surface, goes down another 10 feet, so 30 feet below the surface, and raises two feet, so 28 feet below the surface.

20 points helppppp which pair shows equivilent fractions
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Third

Step-by-step explanation:

First would be, simplified, 2x+10=2x-10

Second, simplified, -2x-10=2x-10

Third, simplified, -2x-10=-2x-10

Fourth, simplified, -2x+10=2x-10

So it's third :)

hope this helps :D
