Which line is parallel to the line that passes through the points
(2, –5) and (–4, 1)?

Slope of  line that passes through two points:  

(2, -5)    ⇒    x₁ = 2,  y₁ = -5

(-4, 1)      ⇒   x₂ = -4,  y₂ = 1

Any line with a slope of -1 is parallel the line that passes through the points

(2, –5) and (–4, 1)

the answer i think is a)

step-by-step explanation:

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
