Answer:
[tex]q(x)= \frac{1}{3} x -\frac{13}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
So you have (16, 1)
When two linear functions are parallel, they have the same slope.
So function q also has a slope of 1/3x. You have a set of points so you can plug them in a slope intercept equation to find b.
y= mx+b
m= slope
y= y-intercept
1= 1/3(16) +b
1 - (16/3) = b
b= -13/3
so then, [tex]y= \frac{1}{3} x -\frac{13}{3}[/tex]
