Answer:

y = -1/2x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First we wanna convert x + 2y = 14 into a slope-intercept equation.

x + 2y = 14

2y = 14 - x

y = 7 - x/2 or y = -1/2x + 7

Now that we have the line in slope-intercept form, we can solve for a line that is parallel to.

But first, what do parallel lines have in common? Parallel lines never intersect first of all and second they have the same slope so meaning we’re going to use -1/2 in order to find the equation of a parallel line so…

y = -1/2x + b

use the given point in the question

0 = -1/2(-8) + b

0 = 4 + b

b = 0 - 4

b = -4

The y-intercept of the line is -4

The equation of the line that passes through the point (-8, 0) and is parallel to the line x + 2y = 14 is y = -1/2x - 4

If after 45 minutes han cycled for 6 miles and claire cycled for 9 miles what will the difference between them be after 45 minut
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The difference between them will be 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

When they went for their first round of cycling, which was 45 minutes, it was already a distance of 3 miles adding another 6 to Han's miles and another 9 to Claire's miles it would give you 18 and 12 and 18 minus 12 is 6.

Therefore, it was doubled from the distance only being 3 miles to 6 miles.
