2.9. What is the equation of a line parallel to 3x + 4 = y and passing through (4,-2)?
A. 3x + 10 = y
B. 3x – 14 = y
C. -*-=y
D. --*x+10=y

Hello! (:

3x+4=y

We want to convert it into slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

Our equation looks like this:

y=3x+4

Now, parallel lines have the same slope. So if one line has a slope of 3, the line parallel to it has a slope of 3 as well.

Now, we have the slope and a point, so we write the equation in point-slope form:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-2)=3(x-4)

y+2=3x-12

y=3x-12-2

y=3x-14

Hence, that is the required equation, Hope it helps you!

If you have any question or query, feel free to ask! (:

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt
