Rewrite equation in slope intercept form, if necessary. Then determine whether the lines are parallel. Explain. 23. Y = -x + 6 24. Y - 7x = 6 25. 3x + 4y = 12 26. 2x + 5y = -1 x + y = 20 y + 7x = 8 6x + 2 = 6 10y = -4x - 20

Let us imagine that the number of automobile accidents in a certain region are related to the regional number of registered automobiles in tens of thousands (b1), alcoholic beverage sales in $10,000 (b2), and decrease in the price of gasoline in cents (b3). furthermore, imagine that the regression formula has been calculated as: y = a + b1x1 + b2x2 + b3x3 where y = the number of automobile accidents, a = 7.5, b1 = 3.5, b2 = 4.5, and b3 = 2.5 calculate the expected number of automobile accidents for a football weekend if the region has 25,000 registered vehicles, $75,000 worth of beer is sold, and a gas war causes a 10 cent drop in a gallon of gas.
