The equation of line CD is y = −2x − 2. What is the equation of a line parallel to line CD in slope-intercept form that contains point (4, 5)?

A. y = −2x + 13
B. y= -1/2x+7
C. y= -1/2x+3
D. -2x-3

A

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallel line will have the same slope as CD. The slope of CD is -2, so we can eliminate B and C.

Looking at A and D, we put in 4 for x and 5 for y in each to see if it makes the equation true. If it does, then we choose that

A) 5 =? -2(4) + 13 --> 5 =? -8 + 13 --> 5 = 5

This is correct.

D) 5 =? -2(4) - 3 --> 5 =? -8 - 3 --> 5 =? -11

This is wrong

Thus, our answer is A.

A

Step-by-step explanation:

y = −2x − 2

Parallel lines have the same slope

y = -2x + c

5 = -2(4) + c

c = 5 + 8 = 13

y = -2x + 13

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)

false
