Plz .. suppose you are considering an apartment and are given the option to pay $650/month plus utilities, or you can pay $825/month with the utilities included. before making your decision, you spoke with a previous tenant (someone who lived in this apartment complex before) and he told you that he spent about $150/month on utilities. the apartment he lived in is the same size as the one you plan to rent. which option is most likely to be more cost effective and why?

$650 per month plus utilities

step-by-step explanation:

just based on the info you gave, it would seem more cost effective to rent at $650 per month plus utilities.   if utilities are, in fact, $150 per month, your monthly living costs would be $800 as opposed to the other option of $825.

answer: the first graph

step-by-step explanation:

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
