4x-2y=8 ==> y=2x-4 (to better show you what I mean)
2 lines are parallel if they have the same slope (m the coefficient of x).
So y=mx + b // y =2x-4 means m=2 & y=mx + b, becomes y=2x + b.
Moreover they are telling us that this function passes by (-2,1), where -2 represents x & 1, represents y. To calculate b , replace x & y by their values:
y=2x+b ==> 1 = 2(- 2) + b==> 1 = -4 + b ==> b= 5. Finally the equation is
y=-2x+5
Answer: Percentage increase is <em><u>87.02%.</u></em>
Explanation: Percentage increase is calculated by subtracting the value in 2012 from the value of exports in 2011 and then dividing it by the value in year 2011.
a. Subtract value in 2012 from value in 2011
b. Divide the answer in part a by value in 2011.
c. Multiply the answer in part b by 100.
We have the percentage increase.

8.5x + 55 = 123
You would use the formula: mx + b = y
The slope is the amount of money each day(mx),and the y-intercept would be the fee(b) and the total cost would be y.
B2-7b+12=0
(b-3)(b-4)=0
b= 3 or 4
