Answer:

-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+4y=12

get into y=mx+b form first (m is the slope, b is the intercept)

So, 4y=12-3x

Then y=(12/4)-(3/4)*x

So your m is -3/4

Since you said it must be parallel the slope is the same to ensure they never touch

The table shows the outputs, y, for different inputs, x:

quester [9]

Part A:
Yes, the data represent a function because there is at least one x-value for every y-value.

Part B:
When x=6 in the input-output table, y=6 as well. When x=6 in the relation f(x)=2x+16, f(x)=2(6)+16=28. The equation has a greater value when x=6.

Part C:
Set f(x) equal to 40 in the equation:
40=2x+16
Solve for x:
2x=24
x=12
x=12 when f(x)=40
