Write the equation of the line that passes through (-4,3) and is parallel to y = -2x - 8.

Answer:

y = -2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equation if the line be y = mx + c

since the line is parallel to y = -2x - 8, their gradients/slope must be the same (aka m = -2)

sub (-4, 3):

3 = -2(-4) + c

c = -5

therefore, the equation of the line is y = -2x - 5

This is a question on coordinate geometry. If you wish to venture further into it/understand this topic better, you may want to follow my Instagram account (learntionary), where I post some of my own notes on certain topics and also some tips that may be useful to you :)

Which pair shows equivalent expressions?
Semenov [28]

Answer:

the answer is 3(x+2) = 3x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+2) = 3x+6 = 3 multiplies by x=3x 3 multiplied by 2=6 so it would be 3x+6

3x + 2x = x2(3+2)= 3x+2x= 5x its impossible to do 2x multiplies by 3 cause there is no similar variables there needs to be x in both

3x+2 - 3(x+2)= same as above there's no similar variables

-3(2+ )--6-3= this just doesnt work at all

Tina had d dollars. She bought three cupcakes for her and her friends, which cost c dollars each. How much money does she have l
expeople1 [14]

Answer: $(d-3c)

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount Tina had = $d

Cost of cupcakes = $c

Number of cupcakes purchased = 3

Therefore,

Total cost of cupcakes = cost per cupcake × number of cupcakes

Total cost of cupcakes = $c × 3 = $3c

Amount left after cupcake purchase:

Total amount Tina had - total cost of cupcakes :

$d - $3c

function f(x) has a slope of 3/2 and a y-intercept of 6. explain how the graph of f(x) could be used to find the x-intercept
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

x - intercept = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told the function f(x) has a slope of 3/2 and a y-intercept of 6.

From general line equation, the formula is; y = mx + c

Where m is the slope and c is the intercept.

Thus, the equation is;

f(x) = (3/2)x + 6

Now,to find the x-intercept on the graph, it will be at a point where f(x) = 0.

Thus let's put 0 for f(x) to find the x-intercept.

0 = (3/2)x + 6

(3/2)x = -6

x = -6 × 2/3

x = -4

Wich of the following is not a factor of 80?
Andrei [34K]
Factors are the 'two numbers multiplied' that give you 80. 40 and 2 give you 80, right? So does 20 and 4 & 8 and 10 ............Which means that the only ones that cannot be factors are 80 and 2 because those two multiplied together equal 160. 

But of course, all of these numbers individually are factors of 80, but this problem specifically asks for pairs and not the individual factors alone.

I hope you benefit from my explanation.
