Answer:8.385

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: multiply both sides by 30 (this sounds crazy, but that's 5 and 6's least common multiple) 1/6(j-1)+4=1/5(3j+1) -> 5(j-1)+120=6(3j+1)

Step 2: Distribute 5(j-1)+120=6(3j+1) -> 5j-5+120=18j+6

Step 3: Combine like terms 5j-5+120=18j+6 -> 5j+115=18j+6

Step 4: Isolate the variable 5j+115=18j+6 -> 109=13j

Step 5: Divide to further isolate 109/13=j= 8.385

Graph C is the correct option.

If you drew a straight line (mostly) connecting the points, it would be linear. A relationship is linear if one variable, in this case, x, increases by approximately the same rate as the other variables, in this case y.

If you drew lines connecting points on the other graphs, they wouldn’t resemble a straight line, therefore, they aren’t linear.

In the figure below

1) Using the theorem of similar triangles (ΔBXY and ΔBAC),

$\frac{BX}{BA}=\frac{BY}{BC}=\frac{XY}{AC}$

Where

$\begin{gathered} BX=4 \\ BA=5 \\ BY=6 \\ BC\text{ = x} \end{gathered}$

Thus,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{4}{5}=\frac{6}{x} \\ \text{cross}-\text{multiply} \\ 4\times x=6\times5 \\ 4x=30 \\ \text{divide both sides by the coefficient of x, which is 4} \\ \text{thus,} \\ \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{30}{4} \\ x=7.5 \end{gathered}$

thus, BC = 7.5

2) BX = 9, BA = 15, BY = 15, YC = y

In the above diagram,

$\begin{gathered} BC=BY+YC \\ \Rightarrow BC=15\text{ + y} \end{gathered}$

Thus, from the theorem of similar triangles,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{BX}{BA}=\frac{BY}{BC}=\frac{XY}{AC} \\ \frac{9}{15}=\frac{15}{15+y} \end{gathered}$

solving for y, we have

$\begin{gathered} \frac{9}{15}=\frac{15}{15+y} \\ \text{cross}-\text{multiply} \\ 9(15+y)=15(15) \\ \text{open brackets} \\ 135+9y=225 \\ \text{collect like terms} \\ 9y\text{ = 225}-135 \\ 9y=90 \\ \text{divide both sides by the coefficient of y, which is 9} \\ \text{thus,} \\ \frac{9y}{9}=\frac{90}{9} \\ \Rightarrow y=10 \end{gathered}$

thus, YC = 10.
