Answer:

The equation of a line that is parallel to line a is y=½x + 2, or what is the same -½x+y-2=0

Step-by-step explanation:

A line is a polynomial function of the first degree that has the following form:

y = m * x + b

where m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept with the Y axis.  The slope is the inclination of the line with respect to the abscissa axis.

In this case you know that the slope of line a is ½.  

Parallel lines are two or more lines in a plane that never intersect. Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and different y-intercepts.

You have:

  • y+½x=2       →       y= -½x +2
  • -2x+y+2=0       →       y=2x -2
  • 2x-2=y      
  • -½x+y-2=0       →       y=½x + 2

The line that has the same slope as line a is the last one, so <u><em>the equation of a line that is parallel to line a is y=½x + 2, or what is the same -½x+y-2=0</em></u>

Choose the scatter plot that shows a negative correlation.
Alenkinab [10]

Negative correlation between two variables means when x is increasing but y is decreasing or vice versa.

First graph of suffered animals and children shows a positive slope which means if age of child increasing then numbers of suffered animal is also increasing.So, the first graph show a positive correclation.

Second graph of survey of adults doesn't represnt any distinct relationship as the data scattered randomly everywhere in the graph. So, it's showsa very week correlation.

Third graph of speed and MPG shows a negative slope as speed is increasing then MPG is decreasing. So, the third graph (speed and MPG) shows a negative correlation.

Find the solution by graphing the equations pls help
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

graph these
y = 2x + 2
y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y = -2
2x - y = 3

convert to y intercept form
first
2x - y = -2
-y = -2x - 2
y = 2x + 2
second
2x - y = 3
-y = -2x + 3
y = 2x - 3

you are left with
y = 2x + 2
y = 2x - 3
i cannot graph these for you, but i assume you know how, there is no solution because the lines are parallel
