What is an equation of the line that passes through the point(2,−2) and is parallel to the line 5x-2y=4

mixer [17]

Answer:

y = 5/2x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2y = 4

5x - 4 = 2y

y = 5/2x - 2

Slope = 5/2

Point (2,-2)

y-intercept: -2 - (5/2)(2) = -2 - 5

= -7

Explain why in a drawer containing only two different colors of socks one must draw only three socks to find a matching pair

Greeley [361]

As pair means that 2 socks with the same color need to be drawn for it to be identified as a pair.
However there is a probability that if u only pick 2 socks, then they could kid each have different COLORS.
By picking 3 socks (bearing in mind there are only 2 types of color) it’s guaranteed that two socks will have the same color.

Help easy question!!

LenKa [72]

When you look at the x = 0 and y = -2, that is the y-intercept since the x = 0.

Then when you look at the second one, it goes right one and up four.

As rise over run, it would be 4 / 1 or simply 4.

The slope is 4 and the y-intercept is -2

Plug it in the equation: y = mx + b. M is the slope and B is the y-intercept.

y = 4x -2
