1. find an equation for the line that passes through the point (2,-5) and is parallel to the x-axis

x is variable or an unknown value to find

example:

2x = 5 which means x = 3

the image is given below

since the options are not given so we draw it from the equation

the given equation is

y = (x-1) (x+4)

y = y² + 3x - 4

the above equation is a quadratic equation which will have two roots. if we draw the graph for it, it will look like this

93-8=85

855=17

17*4=68

there are 68 purple marbles in that bag
