Point t slope form:
y + y value = m (x + x value) where m is the gradient
Parallel line must have the same gradient as the two lines never meet, so the gradient must be 4. This eliminates option B and D.
Remember that point-slope form is still an equation, so the values of both sides must be equal. So let's substitute the given coordinates.
Option A:
y-6=4(x+2)
-6-6 (-12) does not equal to 4(-2+2) (0)
Option C:
y+6=4(-2+2)
-6+6 (0) = 4(-2+2) (0)
Therefore, option C is your answer.

- Point slope form is y - b = m(x - a), where m is the slope and (a, b) is a point on the line.
- Parallel lines have the same slope

The given equation is in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. m in y = 4x - 14 is 4; our equation in point-slope form will have 4 as m.
We have the slope (4), so now we have to add the "point on the line" which is given: P(-2, -6). That's all the information needed to write an equation in point-slope form that's parallel to y = 4x - 14; all that's left is to substitute and simplify.

y - b = m(x - a)
y - (-6) = 4(x - (-2))
y + 6 = 4(x + 2)

Answer:
C. y + 6 = 4(x + 2)

If 2x -3(x+4)=-5, Then x=​
kherson [118]
The answer is -7

2x-3(x+4)=-5

Multiply by -3

2x-3x-12=-5

Collect like terms

-x-12=-5

Move constant to the right to change its sign

-x=-5+12

Add

-x=7

Change the signs

x=-7

I am really confused about this question for math.. any help would be really appreciated:
Elina [12.6K]

y= (\frac 1 4 )^x

A reflection about the x axis, about y=0, is the mapping (x',y')=(x,-y) so

y'= -y = - (\frac 1 4)^{x'}

A dilation of 2 is the mapping (x'',y'')=(2x', 2y')

So

x'=x''/2, y'=y''/2

y''/2= - (\frac 1 4)^{x''/2}

y'' =  - 2((\frac 1 4)^{1/2})^{x''}

y''= - 2(\frac 1 2)^{x''}

We can rewrite that without the primes and combine the powers of 2.

y =  - 2^{1-x}

Let's graph these and see if we're close,

Plot y= (1/4)^x, y= - (1/4)^{x}, y = - 2^{1-x}

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Solution :

{x,y} = {0/14261512,4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by Substitution :

// Solve equation [2] for the variable y

[2] y = x + 4

// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]

[1] 12x - 5•(x +4) = -20

[1] 7x = 0

// Solve equation [1] for the variable x

[1] 7x = 0

[1] x = 0

// By now we know this much :

x = 0

y = x+4

// Use the x value to solve for y

y = (-0/14261512)+4 = 4
