<u>ANSWER:  </u>

The equation of the line passing through the point (8,-6) and parallel to line with slope -2 is 2x + y -10 = 0.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, a line is passing through the point (8, −6) and is parallel to another line, whose slope is −2

We need to find the equation of the line.

We know that, parallel lines will have same slope.

So slope of the required line is -2.

Now, we have a point on the line and slope of the line, so we can use point – slope form to find the line equation.

Point slope form is given as

y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)

Where "m" is the slope and \left(\mathrm{x}_{1}, \mathrm{y}_{1}\right) is a point on that line.

Here, \mathrm{m}=-2, \mathrm{x}_{1}=8 \text { and } \mathrm{y}_{1}=-6

Now, substitute values in point slope form.

y – (-6) = -2(x – 8)

y + 6 = -2x - 2(-8)

y + 6 = -2x + 16

2x + y +6 -16 = 0

2x + y -10 = 0

Hence, the equation of the line is 2x + y -10 = 0.

Wyatt solved the following equation:
ohaa [14]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 1/2 (6x - 4) = 6

Expand the brackets.

x + 3x - 2 = 6

Add like terms.

4x - 2 = 6

Add 2 on both sides.

4x = 6 + 2

4x = 8

Divide 4 into both sides.

x = 8/4

x = 2

[ f(x) = 3x + 2<br> g(x) = x2<br> Find gf(5)<br> Find fg(x)
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

gf(5) = 289.

fg(x) = 3x^2 + 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(5) =  3(5) + 2 = 17

So gf(5) = 17^2 = 289.

fg(x) =  3(x^2) + 2   (we replace the x in f(x) by g(x)).

= 3x^2 + 2.
