Parallel lines have the same slope.
So I plug in the -5 and -4
-4 = 1/2(-5) + b
-4 = -2.5 + b
b = -1.5
So I get y = 1/2x - 3/2
We have that
x------------------> <span>represent the number of hours Steven babysits
y----------------- > </span><span>represent the amount he charges
for x=6 hours
y=</span><span>$37.50 ----------------> y/x=37.5/6=6.25
</span>for x=8 hours
y=$50---------------------> y/x=50/8=6.25
therefore
y=6.25x
the answer is
y=6.25x
Bxh
14x15= 210
Hope this help
I don't think that you can. Integers are either positive or negative real numbers without decimals, so there isn't anything to simplify.
