Answer:
The equation of the line would be y = -5/2x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find the equation of the line, we first need to find the slope of the original line. We can do that by solving for y.
5x + 2y = 12
2y = -5x + 12
y = -5/2x + 6
Now that we have a slope of -5/2, we know the new slope will be the same since parallel lines have the same slope. So we can use it along with the point in point-slope form to find the equation.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 4 = -5/2(x + 2)
y - 4 = -5/2x - 5
y = -5/2x - 1
2 11/16 I believe is the answer
I Lou think the answer is 84?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
<em>"Ray says the third-degree polynomial has four intercepts. Kelsey argues the function can have as many as three zeros only."</em>
We know that Kelsey is right, a polynomial of degree 3 has maximum 3 zeroes, so it means that the graph of this polynomial has maximum 3 x-intercepts.
<u>So how Ray can be right too?</u>
we need to think of y-intercept, if we add the y-intercept then Ray can be right too,
as you can see in one example below
there are 3 x-intercepts and 1 y-intercept.
This being said, Ray is not always right. For instance 
has only 1 zero (multiplicity 3) its graph has only 1 intercept in the point (0,0)
hope this helps
