These three points are collinear. (3, 6), (-2, -9), (0, -4)
True False

False

Step-by-step explanation:

to determine if the points are collinear, determine the rate of change(slope) between (-2, -9) and (0, -4) and then the rate of change between (0, -4) and (3,6) and rate of change between (-2, -9) and (3, 6). if the rates are equivalent then the points are all collinear

between (-2, -9) and (0, -4):

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  =(-4-(-9))/(0-(-2))

  =5/2

between (0, -4) and (3,6):

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

  =(6-(-4))/(3-0)

=10/3

because 5/2 does not equal 10/3 the rates of change are not equal and the points are not collinear, do not need to consider slope between (-2, -9) and (3, 6)

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions

the answer is 0.071
