Question 1:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Find Slope
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Equation: y = 5x - 2
Slope = 5
Slope of parallel line = 5
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Insert slope into the general equation y = mx + c
--------------------------------------------------------------------
y = 5x + c
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Find y-intercept
--------------------------------------------------------------------
At point (2, -1)
y = 5x + c
-1 = 5(2) + c
c = -1 - 10
c = -11
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Insert y-intercept into the equation
--------------------------------------------------------------------
y = 5x + c
y = 5x - 11
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: y = 5x - 11
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 2:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Find Slope
--------------------------------------------------------------------
y = 9x
Slope = 9
Slope of the parallel line = 9
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Insert slope into the equation y = mx + c
--------------------------------------------------------------------
y = 9x + c
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Find y-intercept
--------------------------------------------------------------------
y = 9x + c
At point (0, 5)
5 = 9(0) + c
c = 5
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Insert y-intercept into the equation
--------------------------------------------------------------------
y = 9x + c
y = 9x + 5
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: y = 9x + 5
--------------------------------------------------------------------
5 years because when you divide 90 by 18 to get how many years it takes the tree to grow to 90 inches tall, you get 5.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We are given two points, the y - intercept and the x - intercept.
The y - intercept being: ( 0, -7 )
The x - intercept being: ( 1, 0 )
The equation of a line in slope - intercept form is:
y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y - intercept.
We already have the y - intercept. So far we have:
y = mx - 7
What we're missing is the slope.
To find the slope, we can use this formula:
, where
and
are the x - coordinates of both points and
and
are the y - coordinates of both points.

We now have the missing piece, the slope, so the equation now is:
