Answer:

The equation of the line that is parallel to the linear graph of y = 2x - 1 and passes through the point (-1, 1) will be:

y=2x+3

Hence, option D is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that linear function can be represented using the slope-intercept formula

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Given the equation

y = 2x - 1

comparing with the slope-intercept form y = mx+b

Hence, the slope of the line y = 2x - 1 is: m = 2

We know that the parallel lines have the same slopes.

Thus, the slope of the equation of the line that is parallel to the linear graph of y = 2x - 1 will also be: 2

Using the point-slope form of the line equation

y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)

where m is the slope of the line and (x₁, y₁) is the point

substituting the values of the slope = 2 and the point (-1, 1)

y-1=2\left(x-\left(-1\right)\right)

y-1=2\left(x+1\right)

Add 1 to both sides

y-1+1=2\left(x+1\right)+1

Simplify

y=2x+3

Therefore, the equation of the line that is parallel to the linear graph of y = 2x - 1 and passes through the point (-1, 1) will be:

y=2x+3

Hence, option D is true.

Step 1: State what is know

Bart deposits 10 dollars every week

Bart has 90 dollars in his account

Step 2: Find a way to solve for how many weeks Bart ha been depositing money

Total money in account / 10 dollars deposit per week = weeks he has been depositing

Step 3: Substitute in values and solve

90/ 10 = 9

Step 4: State your findings

Therefore Bart has been depositing money for 9 weeks
