in 2012, the general social survey included a question that asked participants how many hours they worked a week. do males work more hours at a job than females? would this be an example of independent or dependent samples?

A, x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

to know if a line is parallel, we need to know what kind of line x = -2 is

we can use the mnemonic VUX/HOY to determine the slope, the type of line, and which axis it corresponds to. VUX/HOY stands for:

Vertical line

Undefined slope

X axis

Horizontal line

0 is the slope

Y axis

according to this, the equation x = -2 is a vertical line

we need to find a line parallel to the line x = -2 that contains the point (-5,4). the easy method of doing this is just to look at the x-coordinate of the ordered pair, which is -5. meaning we can eliminate answer choices B and D

we are left with choices A and C. according to VUX/HOY, we need a vertical line, as a horizontal line will intersect x = -2, and we want something parallel, which eliminates choice C

the correct answer is A, x = -5
