Answer:

y=-2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this line is supposed to be parallel it will have the same slope.

y=-2x+b

no plug in the (0,-2)

-2=b

y=-2x-2

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that contains the points (3, -4) and (5 -6)

Alika [10]

Answer:

y = -x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from the point (3, -4) to the point (5, -6), x increases by 2 and y decreases by 2. Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = -2/2, or -1.

Starting with the general slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line, we get y = mx + b => y = -1x + b.

Subbing -4 for y and 3 for x, we get

-4 = -1(3) + b, which yields b = -1

Thus, the desired equation is

y = -x - 1

In the diagram below, BD is parallel to XY. What is the value of x?

MAXImum [283]

If two lines are crossed by another line that is called the transversal, the corresponding angles those in matching corners. In this problem, we have two parallel lines:

$\overleftrightarrow{XY} \\ \\ \overleftrightarrow{BD}$

In this way, x° and 76° are corresponding, therefore:

(x)° = 76°

∴ x = 76

Perform the indicated operation. (-7) • (-5)<br> -12 <br> 35<br> 12<br> -35

Flauer [41]

Hi,

Equation:

$- 7 \times (- 5)$

Multiplying two negatives equals a positive.

$( - ) \times ( - ) = ( + )$

Now equation looks like:

$7 \times 5 = 35$

Hope this helps.

The answer is going to be .65 because
1)You subtract 2.95 from 3.6
=3.6-2.95=.65
2)You add 2.95+.65
=3.6
