Answer:

a=2

b=3

c=5

d=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b = c

a-c=d

a+b=5

a+b =5

a = 2

2+b =5

Subtract 2 from each side

2+b-2 =5-2

b=3

a + b = c

2+3 = c

5=c

a-c=d

2-5 =d

-3 =d

What's an equation that the passes through (-6,4) and is parallel to y=1/2x+8

deff fn [24]

By definition, if two lines share the same gradient, they are said to be parallel. So, we know for this equation, it must have a gradient of 1/2.

Now, since the point (-6, 4) passes through the line, we know it must satisfy the equation. Since we have a gradient/slope and a point, we can use the point-gradient form:

$y - y_1 = \frac{1}{2}(x - x_1)$ , where $(x_1, y_1)$ represents the points being passed through.

$y - 4 = \frac{1}{2}(x + 6)$
$2y - 8 = x + 6$
$2y = x + 14$
$y = \frac{1}{2}x + 7$
