Q:

Lines r , s , and t are parallel. That means they have the same slope. Each of these lines has a slope of - 2 . Enter numbers to complete an equation for each line.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:(a) y = -2 x -2(b)  y = -2 x + 1(c)  y = -2 x + 3Step-by-step explanation:The given lines r , s and t are parallel.⇒ Slope of line r = Slope of line s = Slope of line t = (-2)The point slope equation for any line is given as y = m x + C : m = slope pf line, C is y - intercept.Y intercept is a point on line when x = 0. Now for the line r, slope = (-2) and y intercept = (-2)So, the equation is given as y = -2x -2 Now for the line s, slope = (-2) and y intercept = (1)So, the equation is given as y = -2 x + 1 Now for the line t, slope = (-2) and y intercept = (3)So, the equation is given as y = -2 x + 3
