Answer:

y=-2x+2 (if you need it in y-intercept form)

2x+y=2 (if you need it in standard form)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write the original line in y=mx+b form. In other words, get the y by itself on the left side of the equation.

Subtract 2x from both sides.

y=-2x+1

2. Recall that parallel lines have the same slope. Slope is always the number with the x in the equation. Since the slope in the first equation is -2, the slope of the new line will also be -2.

3. Find the y-intercept. Use the point (-1,4) and plug the y and x values into the point-slope formula. M represents the slope.

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-4=-2(x+1)

Simplify the equation.

y-4=-2x-2

y=-2x+2

(Proceed to step 4 if you need it in standard form)

4. Write the equation in standard form (x+y=z). Z represents the number by itself without variables.

Add -2x to both sides

2x+y=2

Answer:

An of line that passes through the point (−1,4) and is parallel to the line will be:

  • y=-2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given the line

2x+y=1

converting the line into slope-intercept form

y = -2x+1

comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

The slope of the line = m = -2

We know that the parallel lines have the same slopes.

Thus, the slope of line that passes through the point (−1,4) and is parallel to the line will be: -2

using the point-slope form of the line equation

y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)

where m is the slope of the line and (x₁, y₁) is the point

substituting the values of the slope = -2 and the point (-1, 4)

y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)

y-4=-2\left(x-\left(-1\right)\right)

Add 4 to both sides

y-4+4=-2\left(x+1\right)+4

y=-2x+2

Therefore, an of line that passes through the point (−1,4) and is parallel to the line will be:

  • y=-2x+2

What type of association would you expect between a persons age and hair length
hjlf

Answer:

The length of their hair reduces. This is because the length of hair is dependent on the growth phase (anagen phase) of the hair follicles. When one is young, the cells of the papilla divide more rapidly and hence cause the length of the hair to be long before reaching transitional phase (catagen phase) and then shed off in the telogen phase. The older one gets, the papilla cells do not divide as rapidly and the length of the hair shortens with age.
