Answer:
y=2x+7
Step-by-step explanation:
When an equation is parallel to another, it shares the same slope.
Our original line is y=2x-8, and it is in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)
This means that our slope is 2 because m represents the slope.
The slope of our parallel line will then also be 2.
<u>We can begin to plug that into point-slope form which is:</u>
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
This is where (x1, y1) is a point the line intersects, and m is the slope.
<u>Plugging in the slope, we'll have:</u>
y - y1 = 2(x - x1)
We also know it intersects the point (-4, -1)
We can plug this into our equation as well.
y - (-1) = m(x - (-4))
y+1=2(x+4)
<u>Now, we can simplify it into slope-intercept form:</u>
y+1=2(x+4)
Distribute
y+1=2x+8
Subtract 1 from both sides
y=2x+8-1
y=2x+7
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L represent the number of games lost. Then 2L+17 is the number of games won. The total of games played is ...
... 98 = L + (2L+17)
... 81 = 3L . . . . . . . . subtract 17
... 27 = L . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of L
... 2L+17 = 2·27+17 = 71
The team had 71 wins and 27 losses.
