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

Answer:

-infinity, infinity

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is x, and in a quadratic equation like this one the x axis goes on forever. So the first answer of -infinity, infinity is correct.

Using the linear combination method what is the solution to the system of linear equations 7x - 2y = -20 and 9x + 4y = -6
Ghella [55]

x should equal -2 and y should equal -3 to solve this i multiplied the first equation by 2 then got rid of the 4y and -4y then i added the 14x to the 9 equaling 23x and added the -40 to the -6 which became 23x=-46 i solved this getting -s for x, then i plugged that into the equations to get y which was -3

How do you determine whether a sum will be positive, negative, or 0 when adding a positive and a negative integer?
professor190 [17]
If the integers have the same absolute value ... they're the same number
but with different signs ... then their sum is zero.

Example:    (plus) 927 added to (negative) 927  =  zero


If the integers have different absolute values ... they're different numbers with different
signs ... then their sum has the same sign as the one with the bigger absolute value.

Examples:

==>   (plus) 92 added to (negative) 91
         92 and 91 are 1 number apart on the number line.
         The positive number is bigger than the negative number.
         So the sum is  +1 . 

==>    (plus) 35 added to (negative) 37
          35 and 37 are 2 numbers apart on the number line.
          The negative number is bigger than the positive one.
          So the sum is  -2 .
