Ajeweler is dividing 3/8 of a pound of rubies among 4 lots. what part of a pound will each lot weigh?
a.1/4
b.1/8
c.1/16
d.3/32
last question

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. : )

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.
