y=mx+b

because the y=2x-1, so m=2

because we know (4.2), so we can bring it in to the function:

2=2x4+b

2=8+b

b=-6

So the other one is: y=2x-6

in other way it's 2x-y=6

Which means the answer is B.

This equation is in slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.


Note that parallel lines have the same slope.


The equation is y = 2x - 1; the slope is 2 and the y-intercept is (0, -1).


For our line parallel to the given line, we have y = 2x + b, as the slopes are the same. To find b (the y-intercept), plug the point on the line - (4, 2) - for x and y in the equation and solve algebraically for b.


y = 2x + b

2 = 2(4) + b

2 = 8 + b

-6 = b


We can now complete our equation!


y = 2x - 6


However, notice how the options aren't in slope-intercept form. Simply isolate and negate the constant to figure out which one is correct.


y = 2x - 6

y - 2x = -6

-y + 2x = 6

2x - y = 6


Answer:

The equation of the line that passes through (4, 2) and is parallel to the line y = 2x - 1 is B) 2x - y = 6.

A die is thrown . find the probability of (1) a multiple of 2 or 3​
tangare [24]

Answer:

A die is thrown which means that it can land on either 1-6 on the die.So if you want to find the probability of the multiple of 2 or 3....we have multiplies of 2 in the die from 1-6 which is 2,4 and 6 if you count them they are just 3 numbers and since there is a probability of it to land on any of them it will be 3/6 which is 1/2 if yiu divide by 3 to it's lowest term....Then multiple of 3 is 3,and 6.which will be 2/6 which is 1/3 if u cut to its lowest term. Or in the question means addition sign in probability then it is 2 or 3 which is (1/2)+(1/3)=5/6.Thank you for the question

Sam decides to build a square garden. If the area of the garden is 25x2 + 30x + 9 square feet, what is the length of one side of
seropon [69]
The correct answer is C. (5x+3) feet, and here is how I got it.
This is the equation you need to use:
(a+b)^2 = (a+b) (a+b)
So, let us plug in 5x and 3 here:
(5x+3)^2 = (5x+3)(5x+3) = 25x^2 + 15x + 15x + 9 = 25x^2 + 30x + 9 which is the area of the garden.
