Slope-intercept form:  y = mx + b

(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)

For lines to be parallel, they need to have the same slope.

To find the slope (m), use the slope formula:

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}      And plug in the two points

(-2, 7) = (x₁, y₁)

(4, -5) = (x₂, y₂)

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{-5-7}{4-(-2)}   (two negative signs cancel each other out and become positive)

m=\frac{-5-7}{4+2}

m=\frac{-12}{6}     Simplify the fraction

m = -2        

The slope is -2, so the parallel line's slope is also -2.

Your answer is C

Cookies are on sale! Today each cookie costs $0.75 less than the normal price. Right now if you buy 7 of them it will only cost
Anestetic [448]
Let's say that the price of each normal cookie is n.
The equation would then be 7(n - .75)=2.80.
Use distributive property, getting 7n - 5.25=2.80.
Add 5.25 to each side of the equation, getting 7n=8.05. 
Divide 7 from both sides of the equation, getting n=1.15.
