Answer:

C, -4

Step-by-step explanation:

slope=change in y/change in x

\frac{2 - y}{5 - ( - 10)}  =  \frac{2}{5}

\frac{2 - y}{5  + 10}  =  \frac{2}{5}

multiply both sides by 2/5

2 - y =  \frac{2}{5} (5 + 10)

simplify the right side. 2/5 × 5 = 2 and 2/5 × 10 = 4

2 - y = 2 + 4

2 - y = 6

bring y to the other side by adding y on both sides

2 = 6 + y

subtract 6 on both sides

2 - 6 = y

so y is -4

You multiply it with the same number you use for the denominator.
in this case 3/4 and 7/10
you find the LCM of the denominator is 20
so for 4 to become 20 you multiply by 5 then for the numerator 3 also multiply by 5, so you get 15/20
its the same also with 7/10, you multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2 and get 14/20
hope it help... :)

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point. y = 1/2x - 8; (-6, -1
Allisa [31]

Answer:

y = 1/2x - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same gradient

So,

gradient for second line = gradient of the first line = 1/2

Also,

the line passes through (-6,-17)

So, we can find the y-intercept by substitution

y = mx + c

-17 = (1/2 * -6) + c

-17 = -3 + c

c = -14

So,

the equation is y = 1/2x - 14
