4x-2y=8 ==> y=2x-4 (to better show you what I mean)
2 lines are parallel if they have the same slope (m the coefficient of x).
So y=mx + b // y =2x-4 means m=2 & y=mx + b, becomes y=2x + b.
Moreover they are telling us that this function passes by (-2,1), where -2 represents x & 1, represents y. To calculate b , replace x & y by their values:
y=2x+b ==> 1 = 2(- 2) + b==> 1 = -4 + b ==> b= 5. Finally the equation is
y=-2x+5
Answer: 120
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The league championship 800 meter race has 6 runners.
The number of positions = 3
Since order matters here , so we use Permutation.
The permutation of n things taking r at a time is given by :-

Then, the number of different ways they place first, second, and third :_

Hence, they can place first, second, and third in 120 different ways .
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
10.50 X 40=420
55-40=15
15 X 2=30
15 divided by = 7.50
420+30+7.5= 450.5
