Solve y = 2x^2 - 5x - 1 for x = -1 and x = 2

y = 2 (-1) 2 -5(-1) -1y = 2 + 10 - 1y = 11y = 2 (2) 2 -5(2) -1y = 8 - 10 -1y = -3

Show that the lines y-5x=2 and 6y-30x=36 are parallel

Rearrange both equations so that both are in the form y= something. Move the x terms to the right of both equations. y=5x+2 6y=30x+36 Factorise second equation so that common factor of 6 is shown. 6y=6(5x+6)...
