Answer:

D. y = 2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the given line. Place it in slope-intercept form to identify its slope easily. Isolate the y in the equation:

2y-4x = 1\\2y = 4x+1\\y = 2x+\frac{1}{2}

A line placed in slope-intercept form is represented by the formula y = mx + b. The m, or the coefficient of the x-term, represents the slope. Thus, the slope of this line is 2.

2) Lines that are parallel share the same slope. So, the slope of the parallel line will have 2 as its slope as well.

We now have enough information to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. From there, we can convert it to slope-intercept form and find out which option is correct.

Use the point-slope formula y-y_1 = m (x-x_1) and substitute values for m, x_1, and y_1. Since m represents the slope of the line, substitute 2 in its place. Since x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of a point the line intersects, substitute the x and y values of (4,6) into the formula as well. Then, with the resulting equation, isolate y like before to find which option is correct:

y-6 = 2(x-4)\\y-6 = 2x-8\\y = 2x-2

So, option D is correct.

\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}420\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^{k-1}

The infinite geometric series is converges if |r| < 1.

We have r=1/6 < 1, therefore our infinite geometric series is converges.

The sum S of an infinite geometric series with |r| < 1 is given by the formula :

S=\dfrac{a_1}{1-r}

We have:

a_1=420\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^{1-1}=420\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right)^0=420\\\\r=\dfrac{1}{6}

substitute:

S=\dfrac{420}{1-\frac{1}{6}}=\dfrac{420}{\frac{5}{6}}=420\cdot\dfrac{6}{5}=84\cdot6=504

Answer: d. Converges, 504.
