Michael's father is giving him an interest-free loan for a $20,000 car. michael plans to give his father a $5000 down payment and pay $500 per month. the total amount paid can be represented by the linear function t = 500m + 5000 where t is the total paid to his father and m is the number of months. if michael gives his father a $10,000 down payment instead, what part of the linear function should michael change?

$25

step-by-step explanation:

25 - 4.50 = 20.5

20.5 / 2 = 10.25

10.25 + 10 = 20.25

20.25 - 12.50 = 7.75

therefore the answer is $25 as shown as the first number.

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. : )
