Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:
Parallel lines have the same slope. Therefore if given line is
then the slope of our line is .
We have the equation:
The line passes through (-1, -7). Put the coordinsted pf the point to the equation:
<em>add 2 to both sides</em>
Finally:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In each case, put the x-value in the formula and do the arithmetic. If you're allowed, you can save some time and effort by realizing that the solution (x) will have to be an even number.
y₁ is an integer value for all integer values of x. y₂ is an integer value for even values of x only. y₁ and y₂ will both be integers (and possibly equal) only when x is even.
For example, for x = 6, we have
... y₁ = 3·6 - 8 = 18 -8 = 10
... y₂ = 0.5·6 +7 = 3 +7 = 10
That is, for x = 6, both columns of the table have the same number (10). That is, y₁ = y₂ for x = 6. The solution to the equation
... y₁ = y₂
is
... x = 6.
