Write an equation for the line that is parallel to y = 2x + 6 and passes through (-1,5).

Answer:

y=2x+7

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation is typically organized in the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept (the y-coordinate of the point on the line that crosses the y-axis).

Parallel lines <em>always</em> have the same slope. When we examine the given equation, y=2x+6, we can identify immediately that 2 is in the place of m, the slope. This means that the slope of the line we're trying to solve for is also 2. So far, our equation looks like this:

y=2x+b

The last thing we need to calculate is b, the y-intercept. We can do this by plugging in the given point (-1,5) as x and y.

y=2x+b

5=2(-1)+b

5=-2+b

Add 2 to both sides to isolate b

5+2=-2+b+2

7=b

Now that we know b, we plug that into our original equation and now we have a final equation of:

y=2x+7

I hope this helps!

Monica [59]

Answer:

Christmas lights are price based shopping products

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we understand that, Beth bought as many cheapest lights as possible. This means that she places value over quantity than quality.

The above is an illustration of price based shopping products where customers (in this case, Beth) see all products (in this case, Christmas lights) as similar products, irrespective of their different qualities (after all, they all light Christmas trees).

Because of this, the customer will opt for least expensive items, leaving the more expensive items.

What is 7/1 dividend by 14/3
katrin2010 [14]
7/1 x 3/14 = 21/14 = 3/2 = 1 1/2

The answer is 1 1/12 or 1.5, but I recommend the fraction way since the problem was in fractions!

Explain the tangent line problem
ale4655 [162]

The Tangent Line Problem  1/3How do you find the slope of the tangent line to a function at a point Q when you only have that one point? This Demonstration shows that a secant line can be used to approximate the tangent line. The secant line PQ connects the point of tangency to another point P on the graph of the function. As the distance between the two points decreases, the secant line becomes closer to the tangent line.

Please help
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

y = -x -3

Step-by-step explanation:

I went to Desmos and kept guessing y intercepts until the line passed through the point (-4, 1). Sorry I can't explain the real way to figure this out.
