Answer:
y = -2x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>1) Find the slope of the line.</u>
The slope of the original line is the same as the slope of the parallel line.
Slope formula:
In this case you can choose any 2 set of points on the table.
= 
= 
= -2
So the slope of the line is -2
<u>2) Use the point-slope formula to find the equation of the line.</u>
Point-slope formula:
Now plug in the point (0, -5) and the slope -2 into the equation.
y - (-5) = -2(x - 0)
y + 5 = -2(x - 0)
To solve the equation first apply the distributive property.
y + 5 = -2x + 0
y + 5 = -2x
Next, subtract 5 from sides.
y = -2x - 5
You know have your equation in point-slope form!
Answer: 10 : t = 16 11 : x = -8 13 : x = 0
Step-by-step explanation: Im sure about 10 and 11 but not too sure about 13 and explanations are too hard for me to explain
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Both expressions are examples of the <em>distributive property</em>, which basically says "if I have <em>this </em>many groups of some size and <em>that</em> many groups of the same size, I've got <em>this </em>+ <em>that</em> groups of that size altogether."
To give an example, if I've got <em>3 groups of 5 </em>and <em>2 groups of 5</em>, I've got 3 + 2 = <em>5 groups of 5 </em>in total. I've attached a visual from Math with Bad Drawings to illustrate this idea.
Mathematically, we'd capture that last example with the equation
. We can also read that in reverse: 3 + 2 groups of 5 is the same as adding together 3 groups of 5 and 2 groups of 5; both directions get us 8 groups of 5. We can use this fact to rewrite the first expression like this: 
.
This idea extends to subtraction too: If we have 3 groups of 4 and we take away 1 group of 4, we'd expect to be left with 3 - 1 = 2 groups of 4, or in symbols: 
. When we start with two numbers like 15 and 10, our first question should be if we can split them up into groups of the same size. Obviously, you could make 15 groups of 1 and 10 groups of 1, but 15 is also the same as <em>3 groups of 5</em> and 10 is the same as <em>2 groups of 5</em>. Using the distributive property, we could write this as 
, so we can say that 
.
Mutations can happen because of damage by environmental factors, such as radiation and chemicals. Viruses may also cause DNA damage. Mutation can also occur during DNA replication due to errors. When DNA is changed the protein it codes may become non-functional or it may change its shape. Some genes control other genes. For example, the Hox genes are responsible for controlling other genes during development. They specify where the head, body and legs may be located, and also where where your nose, ears and eyes are located on your head. A mutation in the Hox genes, for example, may cause big changes, for example, a wing that grows out of the eyes of a fruit fly is due to a mutation in the Hox gene. Hox genes do not tell how wings are formed, just where it may be formed. If a gene that controls the development of the wing or legs or nose has a mutation then it may change the shape of the wing, leg, or nose.

There are also some genes that do not govern the development of body parts, but they nevertheless have influence on traits. For example, the genes that govern the manufacture of eumelanin, if they malfunction, may result in such traits as light skin, blue eyes, and/or blond hair, because eumelanin is the pigment that gives hair, skin and eyes their dark brown to black color. An albino African, for example, will have light skin and even blue eyes and blond hair, because his/her genes for manufacturing eumelanin is defective. Some other genes control other traits but their effects are not as visible. For example, a mutation in some people's genes make them resistant to the HIV virus and the Bubonic plague, but such a trait is not visible from the outside.</span>
