Line k passes through (2, -3) and (8, 1). Which equation represents a line that is
parallel to k?
y=-x-
y=2x-6
y=px - 1 y=-*

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

25x^2 + 90x + 84

discussion:

mn(x) = m(n(x)) = m( 5x + 9) =

(5x + 9)^2 + 3 =>

25x^2 + 90x + 9^2 + 3 =

25x^2 + 90x + 84                 (as 9^2 = 9*9 = 81)

which is the second choice
