A cup of coffee contains 150 milligrams of caffeine. if caffeine is eliminated from the body at a rate of 14% per hour, how long will it take for half of this caffeine to be eliminated from a person's body? round your answers to the nearest hour A. 7 hours B. 6 hours C. 5 hours
D. 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

14% of 150 mg = 0.14* 150 = 21 mg

21 mg will be eliminated  from our body in an hour

150/21 =

  = 7 hours { rounding to the nearest}

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
