Micah solves a linear equation and concludes that x = 0 is the solution. His work is shown: 5/6 (1 - 3x) = 4(-5x/8 + 2)
5/6 - 5/2x = -5x/2 + 8
+5x divided by 2
0 = 2

Which statement is true about Micah's solution?
A) Micah's solution is wrong. There are no values that make the statement true.
B) Micah's solution is correct, and the value of x that makes the statement true is 0
C) Micah should have divided by 5/2
D) Micah should have subtracted 5/2

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.

y = 5x + 17

step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line will be the opposite reciprocal slope of the given equation.   the slope given is -1/5 so the opposite reciprocal is 5

find b:

7 = 5 (-2) + b

7 = -10 + b

17 = b

write equation

y = 5x + 17

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
