Answer:
The number is -20.
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the number, then 3(x+4)=2x-8.
3x+12=2x-8
x=-20
Make y the subject in both equations



For the second equation

The two equations are parallel because they have the same gradient or slope but different y intercepts.
This type of equations have no solution because they will never intersect.

The correct answer is C
Answer:
y =
x + 
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
calculate m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 1 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, 3 )
m =
=
=
=
, then
y =
x + c ← is the partial equation
to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
using (6, 3 ) , then
3 =
+ c ⇒ c = 3 -
= 
y =
x +
← equation of line
