Which shows one way the equation can be represented in words? StartFraction 5 over 8 EndFraction z + (negative 2.5) = 2.5 Five-eighths of a number is equal to two and five-tenths. Five-eighths of a number is equal to negative two and five-tenths. Five-eighths of a number times negative two and five-tenths is two and five-tenths. Five-eighths of a number plus negative two and five-tenths is two and five-tenths.

2nd one in the first row is correct

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )

hello! just here for points! though i wish i knew!
