The value of 4 in the 400 is ten times the value of 4 in the 40's place
Well, you lost the original $100 and then you gained back $70 but gave away $70 worth of merchandise, so it evens out and you lost $100 in total
Take two points
Slope
Parallel lines so slopes are equal
Only y intercept will vary
So both lines have y intercept at -3 and -1 respectively
The equations
Put (0,0) on first one
On second one
So as lines are dashed symbols remain >
The inequalities are

this is because when 40 is broken down into two numbers (one divisible to get out of the square root, and one not) you get 25 + 15 under the square root. we know that the square root of 25 is 5, so we can put 5 outside the root and leave 15 inside.
