Find the equation of the line passing through the point (2,−4) that is parallel to the line y=3x+2

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

~Hope I helped!~

Which number line best shows how to solve −8 − (−2)?
Flauer [41]

Answer:

It would be the third one

Step-by-step explanation:

The one with the shortest top arrow because if you have -8 and you minus that by -2 that cancels out and instead the minus turns into a plus and the 2 becomes positive therefore it becomes -6

Determine if the sequence below is arithmetic or geometric and determine the
algol13

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  r = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first differences between successive terms are ...

  10 -5 = 5

  20 -10 = 10

The differences are not constant, so the sequence is NOT arithmetic.

__

The ratios of successive terms are ...

  10/5 = 2

  20/10 = 2

The ratios are constant, so the sequence is ...

  geometric with a common ratio of 2.
