What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (2, -6) and is parallel to the line - 2y = 8?

y=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the equation -2y= 8 into y intercept form by divide both sides by -2.

-2y = 8  

y= -4     Now that the line is in y intercept form we can now determine the slope.The slope is 0  so -4 in this case is the y intercept.

Remember lines that a parallel needs to have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

So if the slope of the line y=-4 is 0 then the slope of line that passes through the point (2,-6)  

So using the y intercept form formula which says that y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, we could plot in the values for y and x and solve for b to write the equation.

y is -6 and x is 2

-6 = 0(2) + b

-6 = 0 + b

b= -6  

In this case the y intercept is -6 so since the slope is zero we will have the equation  y = -6  

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
