Which of the following is the correct point-slope equation for the line that passes through the point (-2,5) and is parallel to the line given by
y=-8x+ 14?
A. y- 5 = -8(x+2)
B. y + 40 = -8(x + 2)
C. y + 40 = -8x + 2
D. y + 5 = -8(x - 2)

7

step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be 7

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.

−3x
