What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (2, -6) and is parallel

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

What effect does changing the function f (x) = 2 sin (x/2)- 1 to the function g(x) = 2 sin (x) - 5 have on the graph of f(x)?
mario62 [17]

Answer:

choice 4 (or D)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) the initial argument (x/2) and the final one (x) shows horizontal compression of the given function;

2) the different between (-1) and (-5) is (-4); it means shifting down 4 units;

3) the correct answer is: t<u>he graph is compressed horizontally by a factor 2 and shifted down 4 units</u>.
