Decide whether the rates are equivalent. 30 beats per 20 second 90 beats per 60 seconds

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Per 60 second divide by per 20 seconds = 3.

90 beats divided by 30 beats = 3.

Does 3 = 3?

Yes, which means that the answer to the question is yes.

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. : )
