Answer:

y = 2x +1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line is in "slope-intercept" form, where the slope is the coefficient of x, 2, and the intercept is the added constant, 3. The parallel line will have the same slope, but its constant will be different. We can find the constant by putting the given point into an equation with the constant as the unknown:

y = 2x + b

-1 = 2(-1) +b . . . substitute for x and y

2 -1 = b . . . . . . add 2

1 = b

So the equation for the parallel line is ...

y = 2x + 1

Using the arithmetic formula a1 + (n-1) d, a1 being the first term, n being the number you’re looking for and d being the common difference, you will get the answer of -57.

Here’s the work:

27 + (29 - 1) -3
27 + (28) -3
-57

She underestimated by 60 cents. To get this answer all you need to do is multiply 1 dollar times 12 which is $12 and then multiply $.30 by 12 and that gives you $3.60. Then you add the $12 to the $3.60 and that gives you $15.60 which is 60 cents over the estimation.
