Answer:

y = -1/4x

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel to each other, they have the same slope.

The first line is y = -1/4x - 2. Its slope is -1/4. A line parallel to this one will also have a slope of -1/4.

Plug this value (-1/4) into your standard point-slope equation of y = mx + b.

y = -1/4x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, it is (8, -2). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

-2 = -1/4(8) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x (8)

-2 = -2 + b

Now, add 2 to both sides to isolate b.

0 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = -1/4x

This equation is parallel to your given equation (y = -1/4x - 2) and contains point (8, -2)

Hope this helps!

Answer:

6) Two angles are called supplementary when their measures add up to 180 degrees. For example, two right angles are supplementary angles.

7) When the sum of two angles is equal to 90 degrees, they are called complementary angles. For example, 30 degrees and 60 degrees are complementary angles.

8) you have to plot the points on the graph and draw a line and label it with L at one point and M at another point.

9) x = 20

m < A = 65

m < B = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5 + 2x - 15 = 90

3x + 2x + 5 - 15 = 90

5x - 10 = 90

5x - 10 + 10 = 90 + 10

5x = 100

5 / 5x = 100 / 5

x = 20

A = 3x + 5

A = 3(20) + 5

A = 60 + 5

A = 65

B = 2x - 15

B = 2(20) - 15

B = 40 - 15

B = 25

Please Help! The graph of y=f(x) is shown below. What are all of the real solutions of f(x)=0? (Picture of graph included)

qwelly [4]

Answer:

(7, 0), (-8, 0), (0, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = f(x) = 0

the real solutions are the ones that cross the x-axis because when a point is on the x-axis, its y coordinate will be 0.

=> (7, 0), (-8, 0), (0, 0)
