Dr. silas studies a culture of bacteria under a microscope. the function b_1 (t)=1200〖(1.8)〗^t represents the number of bacteria t hours after dr. silas begins her study. what does the value 1200 represent in this situation? what does the value 1.8 represent in this situation? the number of bacteria in a second study is modeled by the function b_2 (t)=1000〖(1.8)〗^t. what does the value of 1000 represent in this situation and what does it tell you about the difference between the two studies?

i would need to see the dot plot : )

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
