Answer:
Hiiii!
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
♣ = alternate interior angles theorem
♦ = transitive property
♠ = converse alternate interior angles theorem
edge 2020
2x + y = - 8
y = - 2x - 8
Since we are looking for a parallel line, we use the same slope of - 2x.
y = - 2x + b
Plug in your given point.
5 = - 2(- 3) + b
5 = 6 + b
5 - 6 = b
-1 = b
Your equation is y = - 2x - 1
Divide both sides by -5
You would then get (square root)x=3 since the negatives would cancel out
Then you square both sides
You will be left with (x)*2=(3)*2
Your answer will be C. X=9
