Line a through (2, 3) is parallel to line b with equation y = -1, which point below a lso lies on line a? A (2,9) B(-5, 3) C (0, 1) D (1, 4)

B (-5, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The line a passes through point ( 2,3 ).

Line b has equation y= -1

Plot the graph for line b, y=-1 , which is a horizontal line as shown in the attached graph

Plot point (2, 3) and draw the graph of line a, y=3 to form a line a parallel to line b

You will notice that point B (-5, 3) is the one the lies on line a.

The answer option A,(2,9) is incorrect  because it does not lie on any of the lines

The answer option C (0, 1) is incorrect because it lies along the y-axis

The answer option D (1, 4) is incorrect because it does not lie on any of the lines.

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
