A quality control officer is randomly checking the weights of flour bags being filled by an automatic filling machine. Each bag is advertised as weighing 900 grams. A bag must weigh within 1.7 grams in order to be accepted. What is the range of rejected bags, x , for the bags of flour?

3 is greater then both of those numbers

none.

step-by-step explanation:

compare the slopes

m1=5,m2=0

compare the two slopes in the decimal form. if the slopes are equal, then the lines are parallel. if the slopes are not equal, then the lines are not parallel.
