Answer: 60 lbs?
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the slope of the given line like this:

If two lines are parallel, then they have the same slope, so the equation we are looking for is in the form:

and we have to find b using the given point like this:
Substitute x = -2 and y=4 in the above equation like this and solve for a:
The equation of the line is then the following:
The answer is A. x = 8. All the points on the line are ( 8 , y ).
Answer:
2.44
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: x³ + 2x² - 5ax - 7 and x³ + ax² - 12x + 6
Also, R1 + R2 = 6
in order to find the value of a:
Let p(x) = x³ + 2x² - 5ax - 7 and q(x) = x³ + ax² - 12x + 6
Using remainder theorem i.e if a polynomial p(x) is divisible by polynomial of form x - a then remainder is given by p(a).
Then,
R1 = p( -1 ) = (-1)³ + 2(-1)² - 5a(-1) - 7 = -1 + 2 + 5a - 7 = 5a - 6
R2 = q( 2 ) = 2³ + a(2)² - 12(2) + 6 = 8 + 4a - 24 + 6 = 4a - 10
Now,
R1 + R2 = 6
5a - 6 + 4a - 10 = 6
9a = 22
a=2.44
Therefore, Value of a is 2.44
I think it B or D I hope i don’t get it wrong
