Answer:

y = -4x - 3

Explanation:

The graph of y = -4x +2  has a slope

m = -4

The parallel line must also have slope

m= -4

Substitute the point and the slope into the equation

y = mx + b

5 = -4(-2) + b

5 = 8 + b

b = 5 - 8 = -3

The equation for the parallel line is

y = -4x - 3

The diagram below shows the parallel line passing through the point (-2,5).

Use the slope-intercept form to find the slope.

Tap for fewer steps...

The slope-intercept form is  

y = m x + b  

where  m  is the slope and  b  is the y-intercept.

y = m x + b  

Using the slope-intercept form the slope is  

− 4 . m = − 4

To find an equation that is parallel to  

y = − 4 x + 2

the slopes must be equal. Using the slope of the equation, find the parallel line using the point-slope formula.

( − 2 , 5 ) m = − 4

Using the point-slope form  

y − y 1 = m ( x − x 1 )

plug in  

m = − 4 ,  x 1 = − 2

and  

y 1 = 5 . y − ( 5 ) = ( − 4 ) ( x − ( − 2 ) )

Solve for  

y .

Multiply  

− 1  by  5 . y − 5 = ( − 4 ) ( x − ( − 2 ) )

Simplify  

( − 4 ) ( x − ( − 2 ) ) .

Multiply  

− 1  by  − 2 . y − 5 = − 4 ( x + 2 )

Apply the distributive property.

y − 5 = − 4 x − 4 ⋅ 2

Multiply  − 4  by  2 . y − 5 = − 4 x − 8

Move all terms not containing  

y  to the right side of the equation.

Add  

5

to both sides of the equation.

y = − 4 x − 8 + 5  Add  − 8  and  5 . y = − 4 x − 3

The frontal lobe of the brain is _____ for driving a motor vehicle.
ANTONII [103]
The frontal lobe of the brain is not essential for driving a motor vehicle. The only time that the frontal lobe would be activated during driving would be when there is potential danger, for example a car swerving in front of you. The dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex is more essential for driving, as it is involved in judgment and decision making.

During depolarization, which of the following statements about voltage-gated ion channels is TRUE
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

In relation to voltage-gated ion channels, when depolarization occurs, Na⁺ gates open while K⁺ gates remain closed.

Explanation:

Depolarization is a phenomenon that occurs in cells like neurons, and depends on the distribution of ions in extracellular spaces and intraceluar.

  • Na⁺  is a predominantly extracellular cation.
  • K⁺ has a high intracellular concentration.

This distribution occurs when the membrane potential is at rest, with a negative intracellular value.

Depolarization involves opening the Na⁺ channels, so that this cation enters the intracellular space, causing a change in cell voltage. Increasing Na⁺ concentration in intracellular space progressively produces an action potential, resulting in an electrical signal.

While depolarization occurs, K⁺ channels remain closed, limiting the output of this cation to extracellular space, which would prevent the action potential from occurring.
