Answer:
The variable that you control, often referred to as the x.
4x-2y=8 ==> y=2x-4 (to better show you what I mean)
2 lines are parallel if they have the same slope (m the coefficient of x).
So y=mx + b // y =2x-4 means m=2 & y=mx + b, becomes y=2x + b.
Moreover they are telling us that this function passes by (-2,1), where -2 represents x & 1, represents y. To calculate b , replace x & y by their values:
y=2x+b ==> 1 = 2(- 2) + b==> 1 = -4 + b ==> b= 5. Finally the equation is
y=-2x+5
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
it's more like 10 points
4x - 2y - z = - 5 ______×2x - 3y + 2z = 3 _______×13x + y - 2z = - 5 ______×1
8x - 4y - 2z = - 10x - 3y + 2z = 33x + y - 2z = - 5
8x - 4y - 2z = - 10(+) x - 3y + 2z = 3_____________9x - 7y = - 77y = 9x + 7y = 9/7x + 1
x - 3y + 2z = 3(+) 3x + y - 2z = - 5_____________4x - 2y = - 24x - 2(9/7x + 1) = - 24x - 18/7x - 2 = - 210/7x = 0x = 0
y = 9/7(0) + 1y = 1
0 - 3(1) + 2z = 32z = 6z = 3
