Lines that are parallel have the same slope, and the given line (y = 6x - 5) has a slope of 6; we are looking for a line with a slope of 6.
To form an equation for a line, you need to know the y-intercept (the point at which the line intersects the y-axis). The first step to finding the y-intercept is to plot the given point. After you've done that, count six units up (this is our slope) and one to the right; plot the point. Lastly, draw the line by connecting the points and see where the line intersects the y-axis.
My graph shows that the line intersects the y-axis at -17. All that's left now is to put our information together into an equation. I'm assuming the problem wants the equation in slope-intercept form; slope-intercept form is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, so it would look like this:
y = 6x -17
Hope this helps.
You didn't tell us what the choices are, so there's
nothing to pick from.
The most accurate estimation of (54 - 16) is 38 .

Answer: Choice C</h3>
Explanation:
The x intercepts or roots are x = 3 and x = 5, which lead to the factors x-3 and x-5 respectively.
Multiplying out those factors gets us this:
(x-3)(x-5)
x(x-5)-3(x-5)
x^2-5x-3x+15
x^2-8x+15
The fixed amount is 6 because it's 6 dollars for 0 miles traveled.
