keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, let's check for the slope of the equation above

so we're really looking for the equation of a line with a slope of -2 and that passes through (1 , -1)

Can you tell us what the expression is in the question?
y = florida's number of countries x = countries in Arizona
y=5x-8
Answer:
d. x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
<u />
÷ (x+8)(x-2) = 0
f(x) / g(x) = 0
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values −8,2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by (x−2)(x+8).
<u />
= 0 ------ square both sides
x + 3 = 0
solve for x:
x = -3
To change a decimal into a percent,
move the decimal point 2 places that way ==> .
Examples:
0.25 = 25 %
0.8439 = 84.39 %
