Answer:

y = 1/2x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

When 2 lines are parallel, they have the same slope.

Step 1: Define variables

Random point (2, 6)

m = 1/2

y = 1/2x + b

Step 2: Find b

6 = 1/2(2) + b

6 = 1 + b

5 = b

Step 3: Rewrite parallel linear equation

y = 1/2x + 5

4 is the proportion because 8 + 4 is 12 then keep adding 12 + 4 = 16 + 4 = 20 So that mean it is proportional I hope that helps.

What is the equation of the function shown in the graph provided? y= _ x + _

Mkey [24]

Answer:

y = -3x - 6

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Algebra I

Slope Formula: $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Find points from graph.

x-intercept (-2, 0)

y-intercept (0, -6)

Step 2: Find slope m

Substitute: $m=\frac{-6-0}{0+2}$
Subtract/Add: $m=\frac{-6}{2}$
Divide: $m=-3$

Step 3: Redefine

Slope m = -3

y-intercept b = -6

Step 4: Write linear equation

Slope-Intercept Form: y = -3x - 6

What expression is equivalent to 4a +10

Ivenika [448]

Hi there! :D

Answer:

2(2a+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

First, rewrite the problem down 10, and then 4.

10=5*2 or 2*5

4=2*2

2*2a+2*5

Finally you had to factor out by the common term of 2.

2(2a+5)

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
