Answer:

$y=0.5x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the equation is parallel, this means that the slope remains the same which is 0.5.

The remaining thing to do is to find b or y-intercept. To do that, the point (6,-2) and the slope of 0.5 will be used.

$-2=0.5(6)+b$

When solving for b, it will equal to -5.

Therefore the new equation that is parallel is $y=0.5x-5$

Which of the following tables shows the correct steps to transform x^2+6x + 8=0

Vlad1618 [11]

Perhaps the most concise way to factor is by "completing the square" which is how the quadratic formula is derived...

x^2+6x+8=0 move constant to other side, subtract 8 from both sides

x^2+6x=-8, halve the linear coefficient, square it, then add that to both sides, in this case (6/2)^2=3^2=9

x^2+6x+9=1 now the left side is a perfect square of the form

(x+3)^2=1 take the square root of both sides

x+3=±√1 subtract 3 from both sides

x=-3±√1

x=-3±1

x=-4 and -2

Since the zeros occur when x=-4 and -2 the factors of the equation are:

(x+2)(x+4)

A scatterplot is used to display data for a runner where x is the number of miles run, and y is the time, in minutes, that it ta

larisa [96]

The interpretation of y = 9.5x is that: (a) For each 1 minute, the runner ran 9.5 miles.

<h3>How to interpret the equation?</h3>

The equation of the line of best fit is given as:

y = 9.5x

Divide both sides by x

9.5 = y/x

From the question, we have:
