Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)
For lines to be parallel, they need to have the same slope.
To find the slope (m), use the slope formula:
And plug in the two points
(-2, 7) = (x₁, y₁)
(4, -5) = (x₂, y₂)
(two negative signs cancel each other out and become positive)
Simplify the fraction
m = -2
The slope is -2, so the parallel line's slope is also -2.
Your answer is C
Answer:
No solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the absolute value:
|x−1| + 5 = 2
Subtract 5 from both sides:
|x-1| = -3
Since an absolute value can never be equal to a negative number, there are no solutions.
Answer:
a) y = 9x
b) For every increase of 1 hour the price to rent the lane increases by $9.
c) $27
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Since it costs $18 for 2 hours we can infer that for every 1 hour it costs $9.
So, the equation would look like this:
y = 9x
b) In this context, for every increase of 1 hour the price to rent the lane increases by $9. Like the question gave us, the price for 2 hours cost $18.
c) Plug 3 into the equation:
y = 9(3)
y = 27
Therefore, it costs $27 to rent the lane for 3 hours.
