Parallel lines have the same slope.
To compare the slopes of two different lines, you have to get
both equations into the form of
y = 'm' x + (a number) .
In that form, the 'm' is the slope of the line.
Notice that it's the number next to the 'x' .
The equation given in the question is y = 3 - 2 x .
Right away, they've done something to confuse you.
You always expect the 'x' term to be right after the 'equals' sign,
but here, they put it at the end. The slope of this line is the -2 .
Go through the choices, one at a time.
Look for another one with a slope of -2 .
Remember, rearrange the equation to read ' y = everything else ',
and then the slope is the number next to the 'x'.
Choice #4: y = 4x - 2 . The slope is 4 . That's not it.
Choice #3: y = 3 - 4x . The slope is -4 . That's not it.
Choice #2). 2x + 4y = 1
Subtract 2x from each side: 4y = 1 - 2x
Divide each side by 4 : y = 1/4 - 1/2 x .
The slope is -1/2. That's not it.
Choice #1). 4x + 2y = 5
Subtract 4x from each side: 2y = 5 - 4x
Divide each side by 2 : y = 5/2 - 2 x .
The slope is -2 .
This one is it.
This one is parallel to y = 3 - 2x ,
because they have the same slope.
Answer: -1
Step-by-step explanation:
f(t) = -2t + 3
f(-2) = -2 x -2 + 3 [ substituting the value]
f(-2) = -4 + 3
f(-2) = -1

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>Total miles = 2.5 miles
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u><u>1- While walking:</u>
We are given that Joelle walked 20 minutes at a rate of 3 miles per hour.
This means that she walked

of an hour at a rate of 3 miles per hour
The formula that relates distance, time and velocity is:
Distance = velocity * time<u>Substitute with the givens to get the distance she covered while walking:</u>
Distance = 3 *

= 1 mile
<u>2- While running:</u>
We are given that Joelle ran 15 minutes at a rate of 6 miles per hour
This means that she ran

of an hour at a rate of 6 miles per hour
The formula that relates distance, time and velocity is:
Distance = velocity * time<u>Substitute with the givens to get the distance she covered while running:</u>
Distance = 6 *

= 1.5 miles
<u>3- getting the total mileage:</u>
Total distance she covered = distance while walking + distance while running
Total distance she covered = 1 + 1.5
Total distance she covered = 2.5 miles
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For a triangle the area is

If our triangle is isosceles and the 2 congruent sides each measure 4 and they include an angle of 40 degrees, let's say that the vertex angle is 40 and the sides that are not the base each measure 4. If we drop an altitude from the vertex to the base, we cut the triangle into 2 right triangles, with the vertex angle being 20 degrees and the hypotenuse being 4. To find the base, then, which is opposite the angle, we use the sin ratio:
and
4sin(20) = b so
b = 1.368
But we need the whole base, and that is only half of it. So
2b = 2.736
To find the height, which is adjacent to the angle, we use the cos ratio:
and
4cos(20) = h so
h = 3.759
Now we have enough info to find the area of the triangle using the triangle area formula from above:
and
A = 5 meters squared.
The domain is easiest. You simply need to find the fractions, and exclude any X that makes the denominator zero. So in this case, your domain is everything except X=7.
For range, you are trying to find out what are the possible answers. Usually the best way to do this is to try x=infinity, and x=negative infinity, which here gives you answers of infinity and negative infinity. Since the function is almost continuous, I think your range is any real number.
