Well, the x-intercept is at -4, that means, the graph touches the x-axis at -4, or when x = -4, what's the value of "y" when that happens? well, if the graph touches the x-axis, the y-value has gone all the way down to 0, and thus y = 0, therefore the point at that x-intercept is ( -4, 0 )
so, what's the equation of a line that passes through (-3,2) and (-4,0)?

Y=2x + 6. ( because 2x is 2 quarters a day and you started with 6
The answer is c because if you have 9 legos and your friends gives you 10 You have now 19 legos
You have to put the number in the graph
Answer:
c. g(x) = 4x^2
Step-by-step explanation:
From a first glance, since g(x), is skinnier than f(x), meaning that it is increasing faster, so I know that I can eliminate options A & B since the coefficient on x needs to be greater than 1.
We can then look and see that g(1) = 4 as shown by the point given to us on the graph.
To find the right answer we can find g(1) for options C & D and whichever one matches the point on the graph is our correct answer. e
Option C:
once we plug in 1 for x, our equation looks like
4(1)^2.
1^2 = 1, and 4(1) = 4,
so g(1) = 4. and our point is (1,4).
This is the same as the graph so this is the CORRECT answer.
If you want to double check, you can still find g(1) for option D and verify that it is the WRONG answer.
Option D:
once we plug in 1 for x, our equation looks like
16(1)^2
1^2 = 1, and 16(1) = 16,
so g(1) = 16. and our point is (1,16).
This is different than the graph so this is the WRONG answer.
