Lines parallel to each others only occur when two slopes of equations are same. The definition of parallel lines is:

$\large \boxed{m_1 = m_2}$

We are given the equation of a line which is x = -2. For x = a, the equation forms a verical line and has an undefined slope. These below are basic that you may need to learn when learning about the line graph:

y = a —> horizontal line; slope is 0.
x = a —> vertical line; slope is undefined.
For y = a, any a-values would have same x-values. For example, if we are given y = 2 then any domains or x-values can have the range of 2.
For x = a, any a-values would have same y-values or range.

Back to the question. We want to find the equation of a line that is parallel to the line x = -2 and passes through (5,4) point. Recall the definition of parallel line that both slopes of equations must equal. Since x = a for any a-values would give an undefined slope. That means our parallel would be x = b.

Because the line passes through (5,4) - for any a-values from x = a would give out the set of all real numbers for range. Therefore the equation of a line is x = 5.

Answer

The equation of a line that is parallel to x = -2 and passes through (5,4) is x = 5.

Nata [24]

Good evening

The absolute value has the following property:

$|x|\leq a\iff -a\leq x\leq a$

Apllying:

$|T-55| \leq 10 \iff -10\leq T - 55 \leq 10\\ \\ -10 + 55 \leq T -55 + 55 \leq 10 + 55\\ \\ \boxed{45\leq T \leq 65}$

The average temperature range is between 45 and 65 degrees.

Which set of ordered pairs does not represent a function?

Irina18 [472]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

B. { (3, –2), (3, –4), (4, –1), (4, –3) }

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Functions are a set of points that show how dependent variables change through independent variables.

Defining a Function

In functions, each x-value is assigned to exactly one y-value. This means that x-values do not repeat. So, if there is one x-value more than once in a set, then it cannot be a function.

For example, set B has the x-value 3 and 4 repeated twice. Thus, it does not represent a function.

Graph of a Function

Functions can also be defined through a graph. Just like with coordinate points, x-values do not repeat on the graph. You can use the vertical line test to see if a graph is a function. If you can draw a vertical line at every point on a graph without it ever intersecting with the graph more than once, then it is a function.

Find f(x)+g(x), given f(x)=x^2-8 and g(x)=-2-x^2

Gnoma [55]

$\left(x^2-8\right)+\left(-2-x^2\right)=-10$

$\left(x^2-8\right)+\left(-2-x^2\right)$

$=x^2-8-2-x^2$

$=x^2-x^2-8-2$

$=-8-2$

$=-10$

Tom has 7/8 gallons of paint. He used 1/2 gallon of paint on a project. He uses the steps to show how much paint he had when he

WINSTONCH [101]

He made his mistake in Step 2. Tom should have subtracted 4/8 instead of 1/8. The mistake is that he was not consistent when he multiplied Denominators (bottom number) must be the same when handling fractions so Tom must multiply both the numerator and denominator by the SAME number to balance it out. 1/2 x 4/4= 4/8. Subtract. 7/8 - 4/8= 3/8. Tom has 3/8 of a gallon of paint leftover.
