Find the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through (5, -1). 32. y = 2x−7

To solve this problem, we need to use our knowledge that parallel lines have the same slope. If we have a line that is parallel to the line y = 2x - 7, our line must also have a slope of 2 (we know this line has a slope of 2 because it is in slope-intercept form, y=mx + b, where m represents slope and b represents the y-intercept).

Now, we can use our known slope and our given point to substitute into point-slope form, as shown below:

y = m (x - h) + k

y = 2 (x - 5) - 1

Next, we can simplify our equation by using the distributive property to get rid of the parentheses.

y = 2x - 10 - 1

Finally, we can complete our equation by computing the subtraction.

y = 2x - 11

We can conclude that this is the correct answer because if you plug in the point (5, -1) you get a true statement and it has a slope of 2.

Therefore, the answer is y = 2x - 11.

Hope this helps!

The sales price of last year's hottest game is 30% off the retail price. The game sold last year for$86.00. What is the sales pr
Olin [163]
I was doing it wrong. You have to find 30% of $86 which is $25.80, i think, and then take it away from $86 and so the sales price is $86 - $25.80 = $60.20. Originally I only did the first bit, I forgot you have to take it away. sorry hope this helps more now.

A battery manufacturer randomly tests 500 batteries and finds that 3 are defective.
ale4655 [162]
To find this answer, we must first find the percentage of batteries that are defective. We can do this by dividing 3 by 500.

3 / 500 = 0.006

So our percentage of defective batteries is 0.6%.

Now, to find out how many defective batteries would be in a batch of 12000, we just need to multiply the constant (percentage of defective batteries) by the amount in the new batch.

12000 * 0.006 = 72

In a shipment of 12,000 batteries, 72 will be defective, so the correct answer choice would be B.
Hope that helped =)
