Answer: y=-6
Step-by-step explanation:
First convert the equation -2y= 8 into y intercept form by divide both sides by -2.
-2y = 8
y= -4 Now that the line is in y intercept form we can now determine the slope.The slope is 0 so -4 in this case is the y intercept.
Remember lines that a parallel needs to have the same slope but different y-intercepts.
So if the slope of the line y=-4 is 0 then the slope of line that passes through the point (2,-6)
So using the y intercept form formula which says that y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, we could plot in the values for y and x and solve for b to write the equation.
y is -6 and x is 2
-6 = 0(2) + b
-6 = 0 + b
b= -6
In this case the y intercept is -6 so since the slope is zero we will have the equation y = -6
7,14,21,28,35
Multiply 7 by 1-5
2x - 15
15 is decreased that is the key word here which indicates subtraction.
twice a number with given variable x is 2x
subtraction always goes behind so 2x - 15
