Answer:

(-2, 8) and (5, -1)

slope: (y² - y¹) / (x² - x¹)

(-1 - 8) / (5 + 2) = -9/7

y = -9/7x + b

8 = -9/7(-2) + b

8 = 18/7 + b

8 = (2.57) + b

b = 5.43

y = -9/7x + 5.43

parallel = same slope

y = -9/7x

perpendicular = reciprocated slope

y = 7/9x

inn [45]

Answer:

B) x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, you have to simplify the expression to get your answer.

Solve:

1/2(2x - 8)

the sum of −2x2 + x + 31 and 3x2 + 7x − 8 can be written in the form ax2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants. What is the

Kitty [74]

Answer:

$a+b+c=32$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$(-2x^{2} +x+31)+(3x^{2}+7x-8)$

Adds the terms

Group terms that contain the same variable

$(-2x^{2}+3x^{2})+(x+7x)+(31-8)$

Combine like terms

$(x^{2})+(8x)+(23)$

where

$a=1,b=8,c=23$

therefore

$a+b+c=1+8+23=32$
