Question

Angelo cuts a piece of wood for a project. The first cut is shown and can be represented by the equation y = 1/5x-1. The second cut needs to be parallel to the first. It will pass through the point (0,6). Identify the equation that represents Angelo's second cut. 10 -10 10 --10 O A. y = -5x-6 B. y = 5x + 6 C. y = 5x + 6 O D. y - 18 x - 6​

Answer 1

y = 1/5x + 6

Explanation:

If the second cut is parallel to the first, it will have the same slope.

So, it will have a slope of 1/5.

Plug in the slope and given point into y = mx + b, and solve for b:

y = mx + b

6 = 1/5(0) + b

6 = b

Plug in the slope and b into y = mx + b:

y = mx + b

y = 1/5x + 6

So, the equation of the second cut is y = 1/5x + 6
