<h3>Answer: 3x-2y = 5 (choice A)</h3>

=====================================================

Explanation:

The given graph passes through (0,2) and (2,5)

The slope of this line is

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (5-2)/(2-0)

m = 3/2

Since the y intercept is b = 2, we go from y = mx+b to y = (3/2)x+2, which is the equation of the graphed line shown.

Any parallel line will have the same slope, but a different y intercept.

-------------------

The parallel line must pass through (x,y) = (3,2). We'll use these coordinates along with m = 3/2 to find the y intercept b

y = mx+b

2 = (3/2)(3)+b

2 = 9/2+b

2-9/2 = b

4/2 - 9/2 = b

-5/2 = b

b = -5/2 ... is the new y intercept

The equation of the parallel line is y = (3/2)x-5/2, which is in slope intercept form

-------------------

Let's convert to standard form

y = (3/2)x-5/2

2y = 3x-5 .... multiply everything by the LCD 2 to clear out fractions

2y+5 = 3x

3x = 2y+5

3x-2y = 5 ... is the equation in standard form of the parallel line

-------------------

As a check, we can plug (x,y) = (3,2) into that last equation above to get

3x-2y = 5

3*3-2*2 = 5 ... replace x with 3, replace y with 2

9-4 = 5

5 = 5

Confirming that (x,y) = (3,2) is on the line.

How would i do number 2?
vekshin1

Answer:

m=2

Step-by-step explanation:

When you put a number into the inverse of a function (f^-1) you get the original number back.

Ex: f^-1(11) = (11-3)/2 = 4

f(4) = 2×4+3 = 11

So, f(-5)=-2

So, when x is -5,

f(x) = -2

f(x)=m(-5)+8

-2=m(-5) + 8

m=2

practice counting in 2's , 5's and 10's, starting on 0. whats patterns do you notice ? can you write sentences to explain these
Mice21 [21]
When you multiply 5 by 1 you get 5. When you multiply 5 by 2 you get 10. If you keep doing this, you get a list of multiples of 5.

5
10
15
20
25
30
35
40
45
50

All of these numbers end in either 5 or 0. We can do the same with 2's and 10's.

2
4
6
8
10
12
14
16
18
20

For all 2's we can see that they are all even and end with an even number (0,2,4,6,8)

10
20
30
40
50
60
70
80
90
100

For 10's we can see that they all end in 0.
