No not always, because x could be a smaller number than y which would make it an negative. If x is bigger than y most likely it will be, but not always.
If an equation has the same slope it will always be parallel so which y=1/2x-1 then y=1/2x+2
Answer:
The prevalence of serious defects in this population at the time of birth is 10%.
Step-by-step explanation:
The prevalence of serious defects is the number of infants that were born with seriours birth defects divided by the total number of infants born.
In this problem, we have that:
There were 1000 newborn infants.
100 infants were born with serious birth defects.
Calculate the prevalence of serious defects in this population at the time of birth.
This is:

The prevalence of serious defects in this population at the time of birth is 10%.
Given that the subway stations are 930 m apart, the train have to be accerelated for half the distance and then decerelated for the rest of the distance.
Recall that the distance travelled by an object with an initial velocity, u, for a period of time, t, at an accereration, a, is given by

But, we assume that the train accelerates from rest, thus

The maximum speed is attained at half the center of the distance between subway stations (i.e. at distance = 465 m).
Thus, maximum speed = distance / time = 465 / 23.12 = 20.11 m/s.
