Answer:
A.
Step-by-step explanation:
If
AND
y = x + 7, then by the transitive property of equality:
We can solve for the values of x by getting everything on one side of the equals sign and then solving for x:
We can factor out the common x to get:
x(x + 1) = 0
which tells us by the Zero Product Property that either
x = 0 and/or x + 1 = 0 and x = -1
We are expecting 2 solutions for x since this is a second degree polynomial. We will sub both -1 and 0 into y = x + 7 to solve for the corresponding values of y
y = 0 + 7 so
y = 7 and the coordinate is (0, 7)
y = -1 + 7 so
y = 6 and the coordinate is (-1, 6)
Answer:
y= 2x -3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's rewrite the given equation into the form of y=mx+c, so that we can find the gradient of the line. In this form, m (coefficient of x) is the gradient.
4x -2y= 3
2y= 4x -3
<em>Divide</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>throughout</em><em>:</em>
Thus the gradient is 2.
Parallel lines have the same gradient thus the line would also have a gradient of 2.
Substitute m=2 into the equation:
y= 2x +c
To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.
When x=2, y=1,
1= 2(2) +c
1= 4 +c
c= 1 -4
c= -3
Thus, the equation of the line is y= 2x -3.
