Answer:
b = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )
y = - 2x + 17 is in this form with slope m = - 2
• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence
slope of line through the 2 points is - 2
to calculate m use the gradient formula
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (b, 7)
m = =
, hence
= - 2 ( cross- multiply )
- 2(b - 2) = 4
- 2b + 4 = 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
- 2b = 0 ⇒ b = 0
Choice A is the answer which is the point (1,-1)
=========================================
How I got this answer:
Plug each point into the inequality. If you get a true statement after simplifying, then that point is in the solution set and therefore a solution. Otherwise, it's not a solution.
-------------
checking choice A
plug in (x,y) = (1,-1)
This is true because -3 is equal to itself. So this is the answer.
-------------
checking choice B
plug in (x,y) = (2,4)
This is false because 0 is not to the left of -3, nor is 0 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.
-------------
checking choice C
plug in (x,y) = (-2,3)
This is false because 7 is not to the left of -3, nor is 7 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.
-------------
checking choice D
plug in (x,y) = (3,4)
This is false because -2 is not to the left of -3, nor is -2 equal to -3. We can cross this off the list.
