Answer:

D. y=-2x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>First start with what we know....</em></u>

y = -2x + 3 (Slope Intercept Form)

<u><em>Because of this we can eliminate B.  </em></u>

<u><em>Parallel means that the lines wouldn't be touching which means they should have the same slope and the only one with the same slope is D. </em></u>

For this case we have that an equation of a line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cutoff point with the y axis

They give us the following information:

m = -2\\b = 3

Then the line is:

y = -2x + 3

They ask us to find a parallel line. By definition, if two lines are parallel then they have the same slope. Thus, the line sought is of the form:

y = -2x + b

We look for the cut point "b" substituting the point where the line passes: (2,2)

2 = -2 (2) + b\\2 = -4 + b\\2 + 4 = b\\b = 6

Finally, the line is:

y = -2x + 6\\y + 2x = 6

Answer:

Option A

Where is the point of discontinuity of y =<br> -4x+81/x-2<br> ?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

y = \frac{-4x+81}{x-2}

If the denominator is equal to zero , then y is undefined.

this discontinuity can be found by equating the denominator to zero and solving for x.

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2 is the point of discontinuity

The length of a rectangle is two less than four times the width. If the perimeter is 26 cm, find the dimensions of the rectangle
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

w = 3

l = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

l = 4w-2

P = 26cm

P = (l + w) × 2

26 = (4w-2+w) ×2

26 = (4w + w - 2) × 2

26 = ( 5w - 2 ) × 2

26 ÷ 2 = 5w -2

13 = 5w - 2

13 + 2 = 5w

15 = 5w

w = 3

l = 4w - 2

l = (4 × 3) -2

l = 12 - 2

l = 10

PLZZZ HELP ME.I WOULD RLLY APPRECIATE IT
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

$2

Step-by-step explanation:

x = daylily

y = geranium

1x + 5y = 22

13x + 1y = 30

Multiply second equation by 5 and subtract the two equations.

1x + 5y = 22

- (65x + 5y = 150)

-64x = -128

x = 2

So one daylily costs 2 dollars
