Answer:
10+2x
the tree would be 40 feet tall in 15 years.
1) Line should be parallel to y = 3x+6, so slope of this line should be =3.
y=mx +b
y=3x +b
Now we have to find b (y-intercept), using the point (-10, 2.5).
2.5 = 3*(-10)+b
b=2.5+30=32.5
y=3x + 32.5
2) The line should be perpendicular to y = -4x -2, so its slope is going to be negative reciprocal m= 1/4.
Now we have to find b (y-intercept), using the point (-16, -11).
y=(1/4)x +b
-11=(1/4)*(-16) + b
-11 = -4 +b
b = -7
y=(1/4)x - 7
Answer:
1 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Step 1 is correct, because it is just a restatement of the equation. Therefore, we can eliminate Step 1:
2(5y – 2) = 12 + 6y
In Step 2, the student tried using the Distributive Property. The Distributive Property can be written as one of the two following formulas:
a(b + c) = ab + ac
a(b – c) = ab – ac
In this case, we'll use the second formula. Substitute any known values into the equation above and simplify:
2(5y – 2) = 2(5y) – 2(2)
2(5y – 2) = 10y – 4
In Step 2, the student calculated 2(5y – 2) to equal 7y – 4. However, we have just proven that 2(5y – 2) is equal to 10y – 4.
The student first made an error in Step 2, and the correct step is:
Step 2: 10y – 4 = 12 + 6y
I hope this helps!
