Write an equation of the line that is parallel to y = 1/2x + 3 and passes through the point (10, -5).

y = mx + b

"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0)

You need to find "m" and "b"


For lines to be parallel, the slopes have to be the same.

The given line's slope is 1/2, so the parallel line's slope is also 1/2.

y = 1/2x + b

To find "b", you can plug in the point (10, -5) into the equation.

y = 1/2x + b

-5 = 1/2(10) + b

-5 = 5 + b    Subtract 5 on both sides to get "b" by itself

-10 = b


y = 1/2x - 10    Your answer is D (you could have just found the slope to get your answer, since all the slopes are different)

Help me please please
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Number 2 first:

See the graph below for a hint. (Do you know how to use Desmos ?)

factoring seems to make no sense for y =-x^{2} +2x +4  but "guess and check" seems to work. I tried 4 for x, but that proved false. 3 for x made sense. You get -3x^{2} +2(3) +4 =y  so -9 +6 +4 = 1 is true.  So (3,1)

x+y=4 becomes 3 + 1 = 4  Also true

According to the graph, (0,4) would also be a solution, so (3,1) and (0,4)

Part 1:

Factor x^{2} +4x +3  as (x + 3)(x + 1) set each equal to 0 and get

x = -3 and x = -1  so the solutions seem be (-3,0) and (-1,0)

y = 2x + 6  factors to 2(x +3)

(-1,0) doesn't work!

But Desmos shows something else as a solution set for both:

(1,8)

y=2x+6 substitute values 8=2(1) +6  8=2+6 True

y = x^{2} +4x +3. Substitute values  8 =1^{2} +4(1) +3  8= 1+4+3 True
