The Chen family bought a small business. The equation yˆ=4.2x−12.9 models the business's cash value, in thousands of dollars, x years after they bought the business. Which statement best explains what the y-intercept of the equation means?

A: After the Chen family bought the business, the business lost $12,900 in 4.2 months.

B: The business was $12,900 in debt when the Chen family bought it.

C: The Chen family paid $12,900 for the business.

D: The business lost $12,900 every year after the Chen family bought it.

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
