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>

100 POINTS PLEASE HELP!!
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

a)  ∠2 and ∠4 are a linear pair

∠4 = 115°

b)  ∠2 and ∠7 are alternate exterior angles

∠7 = 65°

c) ∠2 and ∠3 are vertical angles

∠3 = 65°

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear pair : a pair of adjacent angles formed when two lines intersect. The two angles of a linear pair are always supplementary (two angles whose measures add up to 180°)

Alternate exterior angles : when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal (a line that intersects two or more other, often parallel, lines), the resulting alternate exterior angles are <u>congruent</u>.

Vertical angles : a pair of opposite angles formed by intersecting lines. Vertical angles are always <u>congruent.</u>

a)  ∠2 and ∠4 are a linear pair

⇒ ∠2 +∠4 = 180

⇒ 65 + ∠4 = 180

⇒ ∠4 = 180 - 65

⇒ ∠4 = 115°

b)  ∠2 and ∠7 are alternate exterior angles

⇒ ∠2 ≅ ∠7

⇒ ∠7 = 65°

c) ∠2 and ∠3 are vertical angles

⇒ ∠2 ≅ ∠3

⇒ ∠3 = 65°

What is the education of $15 a day to visit the fun factory ?
Burka [1]

Given that the price per day is $15, to make an expression, all you’d have to do is plug in how many days you spent at fun factory to figure out how much money was spent

Here is the expression: 15x

Here is an example: 15 x 3 (plug in 3 for x)

                                    15 x 3 = 45

                            Making 3 days a total of $45 dollars


Hope this helps you

Brainliest would be appreciated!
