Your friend says that the equations y - 9 = -5(x + 2) and y = -5x – 19 represent two different lines. Is your friend correct? Explain.​

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The second equation is y = -5x - 19

The first equation needs a little work

y - 9 = -5(x + 2)                                         Remove the brackets

y - 9 = -5x - 10                                          Add 9 to both sides.

y = -5x -10 + 9                                          Combine

y = - 5x - 1

There are two lines there. They are parallel, but they never cross. The y intercepts are not equal and they don't lie on top of each other.
