the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9

the answer is  

a.

28 ft2

step-by-step explanation:

the difference of two squares is a special form that has a factorization worth memorizing.

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)

your equation can be factored as

x² - 16 = 0

(x - 4)(x + 4) = 0

the zero product rule tells you the solutions are the values of x that make these factors zero: x=4, x=-4.
