Which statement about the following equations is correct? y=2x+5 y=−2x+5 select one: a. the equations are dependent because the lines are the same line. b. the equations are dependent because the lines do not intersect. c. the equations are independent because the equations represent parallel lines. d. the equations are independent because the lines intersect in one point.

The correct answer is D.

In fact, when written in the form , represents the slope of the line, and two lines are parallel if they have the same slope.

In this case, the slopes are not the same (they are and , respectively), so option C is wrong.

And neither they are the same line, because the equations are different, so option A is wrong as well.

Finally, the lines intersect, because if you ask

you get

and so is the point of intersection, and option B is wrong as well.

correct answer:

i^31 = -i

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
