Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:The new line will be parallel to the line represented by y =2x +2

The equation y = 2x + 2 is written in slope- intercept form (i.e. y=mx + b) where m represents the slope. So the slope of this line is 2. A line parallel to y = 2x + 2 will have the same slope. This means the slope of the new line will also be 2.

To determine the equation of the new line, we can use the given point to find the y intercept of the new line:

y = 2x + b

Use x = -1 and y =3 to find b (or the y intercept ) of the new line:

3 = 2 * (-1) + b

3= -2 + b

b=5

Therefore, the equation of the line passing thru (-1,3) with the same slope as that of y = 2x + 2 will be:

y = 2x + 5

Renee is wanting to join a gym.

Pumping iron: 10x+90=0
Fit for life: 15x+50=0

Set them equal to each other. 10x+90=15x+50. Solve for x. Subtract 50 from both sides, get 10x+40=15x, then subtract 10x from both sides, getting 40=5x. Divide 5 from both sides to isolate x, x=8. After 8 months the two gyms will cost the same.

Answer:

c. Inductive and Strong

Step-by-step explanation:

In inductive reasoning, provided data is analyzed in order to reach a conclusion. In this case, the argument provides data regarding Jane and Nancy's awards and their love for mathematics and then draws a conclusion regarding Nancy's performance in a particular class, this is an example of inductive reasoning.

As for the strength of the argument, it is plausible to infer that Jane and Nancy have similar mathematics skills since they both love calculus and excel academically. Therefore, if Jane does well in the calculus class, it is a strong argument to say that Nancy does as well.

The answer is :

c. Inductive and Strong
