Paralalell means that is has the same slope
y=mx+b
m=slope
y=-1x-2
slope=-1
the equation of a line that passes through the point (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is y-y1=m(x-x1)
given
(2,-2) and slope is -1
y-(-2)=-1(x-2)
y+2=-x+2
minus 2
y=-x
answer is y=-x
Should be 1/4 to my knowledge.
The factor outside the parentheses is -1. Distribute using that factor.
2 - (4 - <em>x</em>) = 7<em>x</em> - 5<em>x</em>
<em />
-1 * 4 = -4 and -1 * -<em>x</em> = <em>x</em>
<em />
2 - 4 + <em>x</em> = 7<em>x</em> - 5<em>x</em>
Simplify.
-2 + <em>x</em> = 2<em>x</em>
<em>x</em> = 2<em>x</em> + 2
-<em>x</em> = 2
<em>x</em> = -2

Answer:</h3>
<em>x</em> = -2
