Write the explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence with f(87) = -590.6 and f(132) = -901.1 in the form y = mx + b. Type the product of m and b, rounded to the nearest tenth.

what

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. : )
