The coefficient represents how many quarters it is
Given that t<span>here
are 20 light bulbs in 5 packages.
The table to find the rate
that gives you the number of light bulbs in 3 packages is given as follows:
![\begin{tabular} {|c|c|c|c|c|c|} Light bulbs&4&8&12&16&20\\[1ex] Packages&1&2&3&4&5 \end{tabular}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Btabular%7D%0A%7B%7Cc%7Cc%7Cc%7Cc%7Cc%7Cc%7C%7D%0ALight%20bulbs%264%268%2612%2616%2620%5C%5C%5B1ex%5D%0APackages%261%262%263%264%265%0A%5Cend%7Btabular%7D)
Three different ways in which the rate can be written are:
12 light bulbs to 3 packages
12 light bulbs : 3 packages
12 light bulbs / 3 packages
</span>
Slope-intercept form:
y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y-intercept
We have this line: y=9x+3; a line parallel to this line (y=9x+3) will have the same slope; therefore m would be equal to 9 (m=9).
Data:
m=9
b=-2
y=mx+b
y=9x-2
Answer: y=9x-2
Given:
Consider the equation is:

Some steps of the solution are given.
To find:
The next step of the solution.
Solution:
Step 1: The given equation is:

Step 2: Simplifying right hand side.

Step 3: Simplifying left hand side.

These steps are already given. So, the next step is:
Step 4: Subtracting 3 from both sides.

Therefore, the correct option is (b).
