0.9
The first step is to label the points being (1,2.3),(6,6.8) in which the first ordered pairs is the number of weeks, and the second one is the dollars in millions.
Hence, the slope is: m=(6.8-2.3)/(6-1) = 4.5/5 = 9/10 = 0.9
The slope represents the dollar rate in the millions per week. In this case, the movie grossed $0.9 million per week from week one to the sixth week.
Use the FOIL method (first, outside, inside, last) to multiply:
2x^2-8x+3x-12
This can be simplified even more into:
2x^2-5x-12.
Hope this helped!
For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

Where:
m: It is the slope of the line
b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis
We have the following line:

The slope is 
By definition, if two lines are parallel then their slopes are equal. Thus, a line parallel to the given line will have a slope
Therefore, the equation of the parallel line will be of the form:

We substitute the given point and find "b":

Finally, the equation is:
