Write an equation of the lines passes through (4,1) and is parallel to y= -2x+7

y = -2x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The parallel line has an equation of y = -2x + 7;

And its slope is -2.

The slope of the line that passes through (4,1) is also -2 since parallel lines have the same slope.

Taking another point (x,y) on the line that passes through (4,1):

slope(m) = change in y ÷ change in x

-2 =

Cross multiplying gives;

y - 1 = -2x + 8

y = -2x + 9

the answer is c

step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
