Answer:

y = 2x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope, so the line will also have a slope of 2

Plug in the slope and given point into y = mx + b to solve for b:

y = mx + b

3 = 2(5) + b

3 = 10 + b

-7 = b

Then, plug in the slope and b into y = mx + b

y = 2x - 7 is the equation of the line

When twotwo basketball players are about to have a free-throw competition, they often draw names out of a hat to randomly selec

erica [24]

There are 2! = 2 ways to arrange the names of two basketball players in a hat.

Since, the are going to throw alphabetically, there is 1 way for the names to be arranged alphabetically.

Therefore, <span>the probability that they shoot free throws in alphabetical order is $\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$ </span>

(a + b)(a ² - ab + b ²) Please help!

Hey there :)

( a + b )( a² - ab + b² )
Let us distribute ( a + b )

a ( a² ) + a ( - ab ) + a ( b² ) + b ( a² ) + b ( - ab ) + b ( b² )
a³ - a²b + ab² + a²b - ab² + b³

We can simplify further:
- a²b + a²b = 0
ab² - ab² = 0

a³ + b³

You can see in the picture I have attached that this is the 7th formula
