The graphed line shown below is y = negative 2 x minus 8.

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 4, 0) and (negative 2, negative 4).

Which equation, when graphed with the given equation, will form a system that has infinitely many solutions? y = negative 2 x minus 8.

y = negative (2 x + 8)
y = negative 2 (x minus 8)
y = negative 2 (x minus 4)
y = negative (negative 2 x + 8)

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Our given equation is: y = -2x - 8

In order to have an equation with infinitely many solutions, it needs to be the same as the given equation.

Look at the answer choices:

A) y = -(2x + 8) = -2x - 8

This is the exact same equation, which means that any solutions for the given will also be solutions for this one. That means there will be infinitely many solutions.

B) y = -2(x - 8) = -2x + 16

We can tell this is definitely not the same as the given, so eliminate.

C) y = -2(x - 4) = -2x + 8

Again, this has a +8 instead of -8, so it's not the same and wrong.

D) y = -(-2x + 8) = 2x - 8

Here, we have positive 2 as the slope instead of -2, so it's not the same and wrong.

Thus, the answer is A.

Hope this helps!

The question is wich of the 4 formulas is equivalent to

y = -2x-8

only the first option is equivalent / basically the same and would therefore give out infinite intersections/solutions

there are 70 more legs than eyes at the dog show (196 – 126 = 70). dogs have two more legs than eyes, and humans have the same number of legs as eyes. thus 70 is twice the number of dogs at the show, so the number of dogs is half of 70, which is 35. to get the number of humans, subtract 35 from 63: 63 – 35 = 28.
