Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(2,1), (-2,-1)

slope(m) = (-1-1) / (-2 - 2) = -2/-4 = 1/2

parallel lines will have the same slope

y = mx + b

slope(m) = 1/2

(-4,8)...x = -4 and y = 8

now sub and find b, the y int

8 = 1/2(-4) + b

8 = -2 + b

8 + 2 = b

10 = b

so ur equation is : y = 1/2x + 10 <==

Answer:

\displaystyle x - 2y = -20\:OR\:y = \frac{1}{2}x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the <em>rate of</em><em> </em><em>change</em><em> </em>[<em>slope</em>]:

\displaystyle \frac{-y_1 + y_2}{-x_1 + x_2} = m \\ \\ \frac{-1 - 1}{-2 - 2} = \frac{-2}{-4} = \frac{1}{2}

Now plug [−4, 8] into the Slope-Intercept Formula instead of the <em>Point-Slope</em><em> </em><em>Formula</em><em> </em>because you get it done much more swiftly:

8 = ½[−4] + b

−2

\displaystyle 10 = b \\ \\ y = \frac{1}{2}x + 10

If you want it in <em>Standard</em><em> </em><em>Form</em>:

y = ½x + 10

- ½x - ½x

__________

−½x + y = 10 [We do not want fractions in our standard equation, so multiply by the denominator to get rid of it.]

−2[−½x + y = 10]

\displaystyle x - 2y = -20

ExtremeBDS [4]
You could estimate by doing 600x3=1800
(becasuse of the 0's in 600 it is easier to do 6*3=18 and then add two 0's to the end 1800)
then you simply multiple 640x3=1920

Answer:

a = 1 and b = 14 or a = 14 and b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This means that ab = 14 and a + b = 15. Simple guess and check reveals (1, 14) or (14, 1).

Hunter-Best [27]
It is a solve for x equation. It is written as 300=x (20-14) first you do the subtraction in the brackets 300=x (6) then divide both sides by 6 to find x 50=x it would take 50 weeks for him to save 300$ (feel free to check that by putting 50 in for x and solving)
