A company is selling books. It has to pay $500 to start printing the books, and once they have done that, the books sell at $14.99 each. How many books must they sell to make a profit?
First we would model an equation. X will be the amount of books sold, and Y will be profits (in dollars obv). They had to pay $500 before they could start selling, so we must account for that too.
This equation would be
because for every book sold, X increases by 1, increasing Y by 14.99
The answer would be 34 books sold in order to turn a profit. (500/14.99=

We know, opposite sides are parallelogram is parallel, therefore slopes are equal.
Slope of line one :
So, equation of other line passing through (-4,5) and have slope of -0.5 is :
y-5 = -0.5( x-(-4))
y-5 = -0.5x - 2
y + 1/2x = 3
2y + x = 6
Therefore, equation of line containing the (-4, 5) is 2y + x = 6.
Hence, this is the required solution.
