Lily needed to get her computer fixed. She took it to the repair store. The technician at the store worked on the computer for 3.5 hours and charged her $159 for parts. The total was $456.50. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine xx, the cost of the labor per hour.

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

my computer is slow i can not see it sorry

is there any other information given for this problem? this is not enough information.
