Find an equation of the line containing the point (2,-5) and parallel to y = – 4x – 2. Write your answer in slope-intercept form.

the desired equation is y = – 4x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope and thus similar equations.   Thus, the equation of a line parallel to the given line has the form y = – 4x  + C.  We need only find C.

The new line goes through (2, -5), and so we substitute 2 for x and -5 for y to obtain

-5 = – 4(2) + C.  Then -5 + 8 = C, or C = 3.

Then the desired equation is y = – 4x + 3

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
