Can someone help me with (a) and (c)? Thanks! ;D

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Mark any two points in line a
(0,7) ; (5,-3)
Find the slope
slope = y2 - y1 /x2-x1
Equation: y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y - 7 = -2(x - 0)
y - 7 = -2x
y = -2x + 7 --------> line a
c) equation of line b
(2,-1); slope = -2 {as b line is parallel to line a}
y - y1 =m(x-x1)
y -(-1) = -2*(x - 2)
y + 1 = -2x - 2*-2
y + 1 = -2x + 2
y = -2x + 2 -1
y = -2x +1 ------> equation of line b

Rashida owns a bike rental company. She charges an initial fee of $10 for each rental and an hourly rate of $4. A customer paid $34 for a bike rental. Which of the equations below could be used to find how many hours, x, the customer rented the bike?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Amount customer paid = $34
Initial fee = $10
Hourly rate = $4
We need to write the equation used to find how many hours, x, the customer rented the bike.
Solution:
Let the number of hours customer rented the bike be 'x'.
Now we can say that;
Amount customer paid is equal to sum of Initial fee plus Hourly rate multiplied by number of hours customer rented the bike.
framing in equation form we get;
Hence The equation used to find number of hours customer rented the bike is .
