$616 because 550 times .12(12% as decminal) is 66. $66 plus $550 is $616
The rate of change is 15. We know this because 30 - 15 = 15, 45 - 30 = 15, and 60 - 45 = 15.
The next item in the sequence would be 75, since 60 + 15 = 75.
Perpendicular means that it has a slope that is the reciprocal of the original, and parallel means that the slopes are the same.

All the information you need is in the quadratic trinomial ... Read from right to left:
Find factors of 49 which ADD (+) to give 14.
These will be 7
