If an equation has the same slope it will always be parallel so which y=1/2x-1 then y=1/2x+2
Given the slope m and a point (a,b) of a line, its equation is given by

In your case, a = -4, b = 7 and m=1/2, so we have

D. 1/4
Explanation:
a perfect square is written in the form
(1)
In our problem, we have this perfect square:
(2)
with C being unknown. However, by comparing (1) and (2), we know that

So, we find

and therefore, the missing term must be

so the complete square is

<span>3,-6,12,-24,48,-96,192,-384,768,-1536
sum:
</span>3 -6+12 -24+ 48 -96+ 192 -384+ 768 -1536 = -1023
Answer is C. -1023
