Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
So you have (16, 1)
When two linear functions are parallel, they have the same slope.
So function q also has a slope of 1/3x. You have a set of points so you can plug them in a slope intercept equation to find b.
y= mx+b
m= slope
y= y-intercept
1= 1/3(16) +b
1 - (16/3) = b
b= -13/3
so then, 
Answer:
"simplify"
Step-by-step explanation:
The notion of <em>simplifying</em> an expression depends on the expression. For the one offered as an example, the simplification steps required are eliminating parentheses and combining like terms.
Other possible simplification steps include combining fractions, reducing fractions, and rationalizing denominators (eliminating surds or complex numbers).
It appears the vocabulary word that is desired in the blank is <u>simplify</u>.
Data? I need the data! Not trying to provoke, but in order to answer this I need data...
Write out the factors of 70 and 90 and see which factor is common between the two. If there is more than one, choose the greatest one.
You would subtract the x coordinates of each so -8 - -4 which equals -4. But since length cant be negative it would just be 4.
