Answer:
y = x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have the same slope, so the line will also have a slope of 1.
Plug in the slope and given point into y = mx + b to solve for b:
y = mx + b
-1 = 1(1) + b
-1 = 1 + b
-2 = b
Plug in b and the slope into y = mx + b
y = x - 2 is the equation
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is linear; therefore, the slope of the line joining any two points is the same.
We take any two points from the table and compute the slope or rise/ run between them— let is take points (-4, -2) and (-2, -10).
The slope 
of the line joining the points is
The slope of the function is -4.

=4
Answer:
2(2x-5)(2x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
I think you meant to say 8x^2-50. If so then factoring this down should be easy. Since there is no x value in the middle the equation will have a positive and a negative number. This is also a perfect square therefore, this factors down to: 2(2x-5)(2x+5).
Answer:
<h3>13 years</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the present age of Alicia be x
Let the present age of her brother be y
Three years ago;
Alicia age = x - 3
Her brother's age = y - 3
If three years ago Alicia was twice as old as her brother Carlos, then;
X - 3 = 2(Y-3)
x-3 = 2y - 6
x = 2y - 3 ...1
In two years time;
Alicias age = x+2
Her brother's age = y +2
If in two more years Alicia will be just 50% older than Carlos, then;
x+2 = y + 2 + (0.5(y+2))
x+2 = y+2 + 0.5y + 1
x+2 = 1.5y+3
x = 1.5y + 1 ...2
Equating 1 and 2;
2y - 3 = 1.5y + 1
2y - 1.5y = 1+3
0.5y = 4
y = 4/0.5
y = 8
Since x = 2y-3
x = 2(8) - 3
x = 16-3
x = 13
Hence Alicia will be 13 years old today
