3(a+b) and 3a+b: not equivalent
4(x+2y) and 8y+4x: equivalent
Check the picture below
the triangles are similar, the angles are congruents then
so... just add them up, and divide by 2, or set them as rational
Yes, that is true, you have to simplify -42/-45 to be able to see if they are equivalant.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
I'm going to use the process of elimination to get rid of the equations. The equation for slope is y=mx+b with b being the y-intercept. As you can see the y-intercept in this graph is 4 which removes the third equation as a possible answer. The slope is moving from left to right in a downwards direction which means it is a negative slope. The only answer with a negative slope is b therfore it is your answer.
