The equation they give you is in slope intercept form. y=mx+b. The m is the slope (-5/4). Since they want a parallel line you keep the same slope for point slope form. Point slope formula is y-y1=m(x-x1). the y1 and x1 are where you plug in the coordinates they give you.

y - 1 = -5/4x (x + 4)

y - 1 = -5/4x - 5

y = -5/4x - 4

14. Sharon earns $25 per item she sells plus a base salary of $100 per week. Write and solve an inequality to find how many item

kozerog [31]

Amount earned by Sharon per item sold = $25
Base salary of Sharon per week = $100
Amount that needs to be earned by Sharon per week = $700
Let us assume the number of items sold by Sharon per week = x
Then
100 + 25x = 700
25x = 700 - 100
25x = 600
x = 600/25
= 24
So Sharon needs to sell 24 items to earn a total of $700 per week. I hope you have understood the method of solving such problems.
