Given the equation: 3x − 4y = 8, a) write an equation of a line parallel that passes through the point (-16, 4).

b) write an equation of a line perpendicular that passes through the point (9, -7).

use slope intercept formula

y=Mx +b

Step-by-step explanation:

3X-4Y=8

3X-8 = 4Y

y = 3/4x-2

our new equation just needs to have the same slope  M= 3/4

y-y1=M(x-x1)

y-4=3/4(x-(-16))

y=3/4x+12+4

y=3/4x+16  answer a

for a perpendicular line.. just take the inverse of the slope... and change the sign.  so now our slope is - 4/3

plug in our new point (9,-7)

y-(-7) = -4/3(x-9)

y+7=-4/3x+12

y= -4/3x +5 answer b

5x+2x=49

7x=49

x=7. 35 apples

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
