Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a line parallel to the equation would have the same slope (7/8)
so what we know so far is
y = 7/8x + b
since it has to go through point C (-4, 8)
we’ll plug in those values for x and y (x = -4, y = 8)
8 = 7/8(-4) + b
8 = -28/8 + b
8 = -3.5 + b
b = 11.5
so the equation is
y = 7/8x + 11.5
Let the cost of the soft drink = C then the price of the sandwich was 3.5 times as much = 3.5C
And
C + 3.5C = Total Cost
C + 3.5C = 9
4.5C = 9 divide both sides by 4.5
C = 9/4.5 = $2.00 for the soft drink
And 3.5C = 3.5(2.00) = $7.00 cost of the sandwich
D, 196,608.
The sequence is multiplying by -4 every time.
