Answer:

  y = 2x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of x in the given equation is the slope of the line. A perpendicular line will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal:

  -1/(-1/2) = 2

The point-slope form of the equation of a line can be used to find the desired equation:

  y -y1 = m(x -x1) . . . . . . line through (x1, y1) with slope m

For (x1, y1) = (2, 0) and m = 2, the equation is ...

  y -0 = 2(x -20

  y = 2x -4

What is the parallel slope intercept form pls help?​

<h2>Answer:</h2>

If the line is parallel to the one given, their slopes are the same, so we need to find the y-intercept, then we can determine the slope-intercept form parallel to the given line.

-1 = 4(4) + b\\\\-1 = 16 + b\\\\-17 = b

Now that we have the y-intercept, we can create the equation.

y = 4x - 17

We can prove this by graphing both lines, like so.

What is the solution to (x+6)(x+2)=60
Citrus2011 [14]
Distribute to eliminate the parenthesis

x^2 + 2x + 6x + 12 = 60

Combine like terms

x^2 + 8x + 12 = 60

Subtract 60 from both sides

x^2 + 8x - 48 = 0

Factor the equation

(x+12)(x-4)=0
x+12=0
x+4=0

x= -12 and -4
