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

Pavel [41]
5^2 + 12^2 = c^2
25 + 144 = c^2
169 = c^2
take the square root of both sides
+ - 13 = c

If the mean if these numbers is 9 what is x ? <br><br> 16,3,x,5
siniylev [52]
The mean is the average number meaning that it is all the numbers in a set added together and divided by how many number are in the set. In this case there are 4 numbers (16, 3, whatever number x is, and 5). So, to find out what x is, first you multiple 4 by the known mean which is 9.
4 x 9 = 36
Then you simply subtract 36 from all the known numbers to find x.
36 - 16 - 5 - 3 = 12
So x = 12
