Hey there!

So it's mentioned that the line is parallel, hence their gradient are equals.

From the eqn, y = 2x + 1 , you'll find that the gradient is 2 (conveniently, the equation of the line is directly derived from y=mx+c, where m is the gradient.)

Using the coordinates (2, -1) as the line passes through those points, make a new equation (with y=mx+c) with those points and the gradient 2 in order to find constant c.

-1=(2)(2) + c
c=-5

hence, the equation is y=2x-5.

The whole working is actually very short so I hope I didn't overcomplicate things :(

A man is 25 years old. His mother is exactly three times his age. How old will the man’s mother be when he is 35 years old?

klio [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the mother is 3x his age when he is 25 years old. Multiply 3 with 25:

3 x 25 = 75

Ten years pass (35 - 25 = 10). Add 10 to 75:

75 + 10 = 85

When the man is 35 years old, his mother will be 85 years old.

Consider the system of equations.

Harman [31]

The solution to the system of equations x + 2y = 1 and -3x-2y = 5 is:

x = -3, y = 2

The given system of equations:

x + 2y = 1............(1)

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

This can be written in matrix form as shown:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2\\-3&-2\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1\\5\end{array}\right]$
