What is the equation in point slope form for a line that passes through the point (2,-4) and is parallel to y=3x+2

y = 3x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = 3 because lines are parallel.

y = 3x + b

use the point to plug in and solve for b

-4 = (3 x 2) + b

b = -10

rewrite formula with slope and b

1. Equation are,

d(t)= 6 t+2 is the equation for team A

and, d(t) = 6 t is the equation for team B

2. No , team B will not catch up to team A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, Team A is traveling 6 miles per hour and is 2 miles ahead of Team B.

x represents the number of hours

Then the total distance covered by A in t hours,

d(t)=6 t+ 2

And, Team B is also traveling 6 miles per hour.

Therefore, the total distance covered by B in t hours is,

d(t)= 6 t

Since, the speed of both teams are equal and already team A is 2 miles ahead of team B.

Therefore, for catching up to team A team B must be increase its speed.

Otherwise, It can not catch up team A.
