Multiple choice
for exercises 1-4, choose the correct letter.
1. you are asked to use a straightedge and compass to construct a segment
congruent to ab. as a first step, you draw a ray. which of the following, if true
of the ray, would be most ?
a. the ray is drawn on the paper shorter than ab.
b. the ray is drawn on the paper longer than ab.
c. the ray is drawn parallel to ab.
d. the ray is drawn perpendicular to ab.

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )

-8/2y-8=5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16

we move all terms to the left:

-8/2y-8-(5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16)=0

we can not solve this equation
