Please someone help! I'm beyond confused on my homework problems!!

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. : )

16 is the absolute value

step-by-step explanation:

answer: hence, function will be

explanation:

since we have given that

cost of a new textbook = $85

according to question, the resale value of a textbook decreases by 25% with each previous owner,

so, our function becomes,

here, y is the total value of the text book after x owners.

hence, function will be
