Actually, this answer would be true. Why?
The first equation is: a(sub <em>n</em>) = 8, 13, 18, 23
The second is: a(sub 1)=8 ; a(sub <em>n</em>)= a(sub <em>n</em>-1)+5
if you wish to find the second term, plug two into the equation for <em /><em>n</em>
8+5=13
to find the third, plug the second term, 13, in for <em>n.</em>
13+5=18.
Hope this helped! I know it's a bit on the late side, but at least you can get the general idea!
Answer: the lines are not parallel.
Explanation: if you isolate the x in 3x^2-4y=-1, the equation is y=3/4x^2+1/4
So, they are not parallel because the slope is not the same.
To be able to answer this we need to see the box plots and the rest of the question. Sorry -♡
