Answer:
Parallel
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope - intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Both given equations are in this form, that is
y = x + 1 → m =
y = x - 7 → m =
Parallel lines have equal slopes thus the lines are parallel
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the trinomial:
First, factor out a 2:
Now, factor within the parentheses.
To do so, we want to find two numbers. When multiplied, these two numbers must equal (a)(c) and when added, they must equal b
(a)(c) is 2(-5) or -10 and b is -3. So, we want two numbers that when multiplied together gives -10 and when added gives -3.
-5 and 2 works. Therefore:
Replace -3x with 2x and -5x:
Factor out a 2x for the first two terms. And factor out a negative 5 for the remaining two:
Grouping:
And we're done!
