Hello
so when finding a parallel line both lines need to have the same slope, the slope of the line from the given equation is -2.
then we use the point slope formula to find the equation of the line that passes through (1,5).
y-5=-2(x-1)
y-5=-2x+2
y=-2x+7
hope this helps!
have a nice day :)

Just double check that I did the right calculations
It means different digits.
W=50 would count as one of the digits.
Now you have to figure out what “XYZ” is.
Answer:
it's c , x= 1.5 or -4
2x^2 + 5x - 12 = 0
First factor the left side of the equation
(2x-3)(x+4)=0
Second, set the factors equal to 0
2x-3=0 or x+4=0
+3 +3 -4 -4
2x=3 -4
divide both side by 2 and you get 3/2 which equals 1.5
x=1.5 or x= -4
