Since it is parallel, gradient must be the same so it will be 1/2
y=1/2x+c
-7=1/2(0)+c
c=-7
equation is y=1/2x-7
RU is 34. To find the answer you can use a proportion. In this problem the proportion would be 60/51 = 40/x. You can then cross multiply giving you 51*40=60x. You can then solve for x which is your answer.
-8 = -7x-1
bring -1 to the other side as we are isolating for x so it will be
-7 = -7x then divide -7 from each side
-7/-7 = (-7/-7)x
1 = x
Answer is f(1)= -8
