Dominic is opening a bank. He determined that he will need $22,000 to buy a building and supplies to start. He expects expenses for each following

month to be $12,300. Write an equation that models the total

expense y after x months.

Determine whether the graphs of the pair of equations are parallel,

coinciding, or neither.x - 2y = 12 and 4x + y = 20 3x - 2y = -6 and 6x - 4y = -12

Neither Coinciding

(-2,4) and (6,-4) (3,-5) and (0,4)

Write an equation of a line using the information given.

1. No slope, (3,4) 2. slope = 3, (-3, -7)

Slope is undefinedVERTICAL LINE

How can you tell if two lines are perpendicular? Their slopes are opposite reciprocals

So there is zeroes between -3 and -2, -2 and -1, 1 and 2

So there is zeroes between -3 and -2, -2 and -1, 1 and 2

Rule of thumb: go from -5 to 5 for your x-values

If they want a decimal approximation, you need to make another t-chart going by 0.1 in between these approximated zeros.

Or you could just plug each answer and see which one gets you closest to a ZERO
