Answer:

(8,-10)

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of line KL

K(-6,8),L(6,0)

m=(0-8)/(6+6)

m=-8/12=-2/3

step 2

Find the slope of the line that is parallel to KL

we know that

If two lines are parallel , then their slopes are the same

therefore

The slope of the parallel line to KL is m=-2/3

step 3

Find the equation of the line parallel to KL that pass through the point M

M(-4,-2)

The equation of the line into point slope form is equal to

y-y1=m(x-x1)

substitute

y+2=-(2/3)(x+4)

step 4

Verify the points

we know that

If the point lie on the line, then the point must satisfy the equation of the line

case a) (-10,0)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the equation and then compare the result

-10+2=-(2/3)(0+4)

-8=-8/3 -----> is not true

therefore

The point is not on the line

case b) (-6,2)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the equation and then compare the result

2+2=-(2/3)(-6+4)

4=4/3 -----> is not true

therefore

The point is not on the line

case c) (0,-6)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the equation and then compare the result

-6+2=-(2/3)(0+4)

-4=-8/3 -----> is not true

therefore

The point is not on the line

case d) (8,-10)

substitute the value of x and the value of y in the equation and then compare the result

-10+2=-(2/3)(8+4)

-8=-8 -----> is true

therefore

The point is on the line

Elena L [17]

Answer:

2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x -2 + 2x + 3 is equal to 4x + 1 to make it 6x + 3 you need to add 2x to the term 4x and you need to add 2 to the term 1 so

2x + 2

On a coordinate plane, a dashed straight line with negative slope goes through (0, 1) and (2, negative 2). Everything to the lef
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

y

Step-by-step explanation:

The straight line passes through (0,1) and (2,-2).

Equation of a straight line passing through two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

is given by:

y-y_{1}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}(x-x_{1})

y-1=\frac{-2-1}{2-0}(x-0)

y=-\frac{3}{2}x+1

Everything to the left of the line is shaded.

We have to visualize the graph:the straight line has a positive y-intercept and a negative slope.The graph is given in the attachment below.

From the figure we can see origin lies on the shaded region.Hence (0,0) should satisfy the inequality.

LHS=y=0

RHS=-\frac{3x}{2}+1=1\ (x=0)

LHS<RHS as 0<1

Hence , the inequality is:

y
