Parallel lines have the same slope, so the new line will have the same slope as does the given line (which you have not yet given us!). If the given line has slope m = 5, then

y-2 = 5(x-[-8]), or y-2 = 5(x+8).

alternatively, y = 2 + 5x + 40, or y = 5x + 42

Please go back, find the slope of the given line, and re-do this problem, reflecting the value of the given slope.

What is the y-intercept of the function f(x)=4 – 5x?

schepotkina [342]

The slope-intercept form of a line is
y=mx+b
where m is the slope
b is the y-intercept

if you convert the function into an equation, then
y=4-5x

rearranging the equation
y=-5x +4
thus
m=-5 and b=4

the y-intercept of the function is 4

Katie wants to buy some popcorn for her family at the theater. Each small tub of popcorn costs $3 and each large tub of popcorn

Molodets [167]

For this case we propose a system of equations:

x: Represents the amount of small popcorn tubs

y: Represents the amount of large popcorn tubs

According to the data we have to:
