Write an equation for the line parallel to y = –2x – 5 that contains p(–8, 4).
a.
y – 4 = 2(x + 8)
c.
y + 4 = –2(x + 8)
b.
y – 4 = –2(x + 8)
d.
x – 4 = 2(y + 8)

Data for the height of a model rocket launch in the air over time are shown in the table. darryl predicted that the height of the rocket at 8 seconds would be about 93 meters. did darryl make a good prediction? yes, the data are best modeled by a quadratic function. the value of the function at 8 seconds is about 93 meters. yes, the data are best modeled by a linear function. the first differences are constant, so about 93 meters at 8 seconds is reasonable. no, the data are exponential. a better prediction is 150 meters. no, the data are best modeled by a cubic function. a better prediction is 100 meters.
