Write the slope-intercept form of the linear equation that is parallel to y = -3x + 5 and passes through (-4,5)

y = -3x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

slope: -3

point: (-4,5)

slope formula: y = mx + b

m = slope

b = y-intercept

First, substitute in slope

y = -3x + b

Then, substitute the point (x,y) to solve for b

5 = -3(-4) + b

5 = 12 + b

5 - 12 = 12 - 12 + b       (Subtract 12 on both sides to balance equation)

-7 = b

Now, plug in whole equation without the point

y = -3x - 7

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.

step-by-step explanation: just trying to get points sorry : (

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
