The slopes of two parallel lines must be identical.
We have slope

, so the slope for the parallel line be the same.
Now, to find an equation that also passes through the given point, we use slope-point form,

, where our point

is substituted for

.

Now, we convert to slope-intercept form as such.

And we are done. :) We can verify graphically that these are indeed parallel lines. See attached.
For

to be continuous at

, we need to have

Note that

means that

, but that

is *approaching* 5. We're told that for

, we have

We can write

and the limit would be

and so

is discontinuous.

Remark
Always the easiest way to study these questions is to get a graph. The one below shows
Red: y = x^2
Blue: y= 3(x + 1)^2
You will notice that (x+1)^2 shifts the graph Left -- the opposite to what you might think.
The 3 is a little harder. It narrows the red mother graph. Which choice says that?
The choice is between b and d. Why. Because the blue graph is to the left of the red one.
You have to learn the meaning of compressed. A better word might be narrows.
Answer
B
Jamie has earned $80 +75 +145 +250 +80 = $630 so far this week. He needs to earn an additional $875 -630 = $245 to pay his bills.
If Jamie only has one last task, he must earn $245 on that task to pay his bills this week.
