Parallel lines have the same slope.
To compare the slopes of two different lines, you have to get
both equations into the form of
y = 'm' x + (a number) .
In that form, the 'm' is the slope of the line.
Notice that it's the number next to the 'x' .
The equation given in the question is y = 3 - 2 x .
Right away, they've done something to confuse you.
You always expect the 'x' term to be right after the 'equals' sign,
but here, they put it at the end. The slope of this line is the -2 .
Go through the choices, one at a time.
Look for another one with a slope of -2 .
Remember, rearrange the equation to read ' y = everything else ',
and then the slope is the number next to the 'x'.
Choice #4: y = 4x - 2 . The slope is 4 . That's not it.
Choice #3: y = 3 - 4x . The slope is -4 . That's not it.
Choice #2). 2x + 4y = 1
Subtract 2x from each side: 4y = 1 - 2x
Divide each side by 4 : y = 1/4 - 1/2 x .
The slope is -1/2. That's not it.
Choice #1). 4x + 2y = 5
Subtract 4x from each side: 2y = 5 - 4x
Divide each side by 2 : y = 5/2 - 2 x .
The slope is -2 .
This one is it.
This one is parallel to y = 3 - 2x ,
because they have the same slope.
If you put in the substitutions it would be 2*2-(2*2*4)+(3*2)-(-4*2)+(2*4).
Simplified further by multiplying it would be 2*2-8+6--8+8
the negative 8 could be simplified further since the negatives cancel out so you'll have 2*2-8+6+8+8.
Then using the order of operations you would multiply the 2's together first to get 4 so you have 4-8+6+8+8.
After that it's simple addition giving you an answer of -26.
I'm not sure if you're looking for the final answer or just the equation with substitutions but there's both.
Answer:
Undefined
Step-by-step explanation:
Its parallel to y-axis so the slope is undefined
Answer:
The answer is 180
Step-by-step explanation:
So to start off you have to turn 20% into a decimal and that is .20.
Next you need to mutiply 225 and .20 and you will get 45 (that means it is $45 off)
Subtract 45 fro 225 and that is your answer.
You now pay $180 for the 20 foot extension ladder.
