Hey there! :)

Line passes through (2, -4) & parallel to y = 3x+ 2

Let's start off by identifying what our slope is. In the slope-intercept form y=mx+b, we know that "m" is our slope. "M" is simply a place mat so if we look at our given line, the "m" value is 3. Therefore, our slope is 3.

We should also note that we're looking for a line that's parallel to the given one. This means that our new line has the same slope as our given line. Therefore, our slope for our new line will be 3.

Now, we use point-slope form ( y-y₁=m(x-x₁) ) to complete our task of finding a line that passes through (2, -4) with a slope of 3.

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

Let's start by plugging in 3 for m (our slope), 2 for x1 and -4 for y1.

y - (-4) = 3(x - 2)

Simplify.

y + 4 = 3x - 6

Simplify by subtracting 4 from both sides.

y = 3x - 10

Select the relations that are functions.

liraira [26]

Answer:

option A, C and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Each relation is a function if each input has only one output

{a, 1), (6, 1), (C, 1)

This relation is a function because each input has only one output

{a, a),(a, b),(a, c)}

This relation is not a function because input 'a' has only three output

{(1, a), (2, a),(3, a)}

This relation is a function because each input has only one output

{a, a), (b, b), (C, c)}

This relation is a function because each input has only one output

If 14 out of 20 like chocolate then how many people dislike chocolate?

Masteriza [31]

You know from the given information, there are 20 people in total.
When asked 14 people stated that they liked chocolate. This leaves a group of people out of 20 who do not like chocolate.

20-14=6

You know from this that 6 people do not like chocolate while 14 of them do

Hope I helped :)

Jason poured 1 gallon 1 quart of water into an empty 2-gallon bucket. How much more water can be added to reach the bucket's 2-g

Romashka [77]

Answer: 3 quart

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Jason poured 1 gallon 1 quart of water into an empty 2 gallon bucket

1 gallon can be written as 4 quart

So, 2 gallon can be written as 8 quart

Subtract 1 gallon 1 quart(5 quart) from 2 gallon(8 quart) to get the volume added

$\Rightarrow 8-5\\\Rightarrow 3\ \text{quart}$
