Which is a better deal? 5 pens for $1.85 OR 8 pens for $3.12 ? find the unit rate

5 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

1.85 divided by 5 is .37

3.12 divided by 8 is .39

so 1.85 is a better deal

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. : )
