Because of a flu epidemic, 36 students are absent. If this is 1/6 of the school's population, what is its total
population?
A
6
B
42
C
186
D
216

Answer D; 216, because if 36 is only 1/6 of the population, then multiply 36 by 6 and you have 6/6 or one whole of the population which is 216 because 36x6=216.

I’m going to infer you said parallel.solve for yy= -1/2x+7/4lines that are parallel have the same slope, different y intercept.so we know m is -1/2then from there solve for y intercept.
