Askull cleaning factory cleans animal skulls of deer, buffalo and other types of animals using flesh-eating beetles. the factory owner started with only
12 adult beetles. after 35 days, the beetle population grew to 24
adult beetles. how long did it take before the beetle population was 12,000 beetles?

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
