C (3rd Answer)
1st term is 900 and as n increases (number of terms increase), each time it goes down by 50 if n is greater than 1.
You forgot to include the given line.
We need the given line to find the slope. The slope of parallel lines are equal. So, the slope of the line of the equation you are looking for is the same slope of the given line.
I can explain you the procedure to help you to find the desired equation:
1) Slope
Remember that the slope-intercept equation form is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is thye y-intercept.
If you clear y in every equation you get:
a) y = (3/4)x + 17/4 => slope = 3/4
b) y = (3/4)x + 20/4 = (3/4)x + 5 => slope = 3/4
c) y = -(4/3)x - 2/3 => slope = -4/3
d) y = (-4/3)x - 6/3 = (-4/3)x - 2 => slope = -4/3
So, you just have to compare the slope of the given line with the above slopes to see which equations are candidates.
2) Point (-3,2)
You must verify which equations pass through the point (-3,2).
a) 3x - 4y = - 17
3(-3) - 4(2) = -17
- 9 - 8 = - 17
- 17 = - 17 => it is candidate
b) 3x - 4y = - 20
- 17 ≠ - 20 => it is not candidate
c) 4x + 3y = - 2
4(-3) + 3(2) = - 2
-12 + 6 = - 2
-6 ≠ -2 => it is not candidate
d) 4x + 3y = - 6
-6 = - 6 => it is candidate
3) So, the point (-3,2) permits to select two candidates
3x - 4y = - 17, and 4x + 3y = -6.
4) Yet you have to find the slope of the given equation, if it is 3/4 the solutions is the equation 3x - 4y = -17; if it is -4/3 the solution is the equation 4x + 3y = -6.
I don’t think those are similar... not 100% sure tho. I think they need 2 matching angles to be similar.
BEST estimate of this amount is 
. Correct option A. 2 x 10^7 .
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Here we have , Hoover Dam spans the Colorado River on the Nevada-Arizona state line. For its construction, the federal government purchased 21,670,000 pounds of gates and valves. We need to find BEST estimate of this amount . Let's find out:
21,670,000 pounds
⇒ 21,670,000 pounds
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
Now, Rounding of 2.167 we get 2 ,So
⇒
Hence , BEST estimate of this amount is . Correct option A. 2 x 10^7 .
