An interesting question!

Instead of solving each set of non-linear system of equations 6 times, I will try a simpler way, which is more adapted to multiple choice questions.  However, please be warned that this method will not improve immensely math skills, but will help with reasoning, and possibly a broader understand in system of equations.

For simplicity, I will denote the sets of system of non-linear equations by S={A,B,C,D,E,F} from left to right.

1. given solutions {(-2,3),(7,-6)}
We first check each member of S, i.e. A,B,C,D,E,F for the linear conditions.
A: x+y=-2+3=1  ≠ 3   so no
B: x-y=-2-3=-5  ≠ 1   so no
C: 2x+y=-2(2)+3=-1  ≠ 1   so no
D: x+2y=-2+3(2)=4  ≠ 2   so no
E: -x+y=2+3=5  ≠ 1   so no
F: x+y=-2+3=1  ≠ 3   so YES now check the other solution 7-6=-1   OK

Now check the non-linear condition for F:
S1: (-2,3)
y-15=3-15=-12
-x^2+4x=-(-2)^2+4*(-2)=-12   good
S2:(7,-6)
y-15=-6-15=-21
-x^2+4x=-(7^2)+4(7)=-49+28=-21 also good, 
So Solution set (1) matches tile F

(2) Given solutions {(-5,8),(3,0)}
We proceed in a similar way, to find that
-5+8=3 & 3+0=3 (matches A) and nothing else.
Check non-linear conditions (optionally, I transposed the terms to make comparison easier)
A. x^2+x-y=(-5)^2+(-5)-8=25-5-8=12   (looks good)
    x^2+x-y=(3)^2+(3)-0=9+3=12          (looks even better)
So we determined that {(-5,8),(3,0)} is the solution for tile A.

(3) For solution set {(-2,5),(3,-5)}
Check linear conditions:
x+y=3 and -3, so does not satisfy A,& F.
x-y=-7 and 8, so does not satisfy B
2x+y=5 and 1 so satisfies C
x+2y=8 & -7 so does not satisfy D
-x+y=7 & -8 so does not satisfy E
Thus C is our only set.  NOTE: if two distinct points satisfy one linear condition (say C), then both points cannot satisfy another non-equivalent linear condition, i.e. we didn't really have to check points D & E (which are not equivalent linear conditions as C) once we have found C.
Now check non-linear conditions:
x^2-3x-y=(-2)^2-3(-2)-5=5 ok
x^2-3x-y=(3)^2-3(3)-(-5)=5 ok
So solution set (3) matches tile C.

@officiallyqueenz, for your benefit, I will leave one for you as exercise.  Please proceed to find the system for solution set (4).  Post a your work as comments if you get stuck, or your answer for verification if you wish.

PLEASE HELP ME

Answer:

C. Exponential

Step-by-step explanation:

If the function is linear, the differences will be equal.

d₁ = y₁ − y₀ = 4.2 − 0.6 = 3.6

d₂ = y₂ − y₁ = 29.4 − 4.2 = 25.2

d₃ = y₃ − y₂ = 205.8 − 29.4 = 176.4

d₄ = y₄ − y₃ = 1440.6 − 205.8 = 1234.8

The differences are not equal, so this is not linear.

If the function is quadratic, the differences of the differences will be equal.

d₂ − d₁ = 25.2 − 3.6 = 21.6

d₃ − d₂ = 176.4 − 25.2 = 151.2

d₄ − d₃ = 1234.8 − 176.4 = 1058.4

The differences of the differences are not equal, so this is not quadratic.

If the function is exponential, the ratios will be equal.

r₁ = y₁ / y₀ = 4.2 / 0.6 = 7

r₂ = y₂ / y₁ = 29.4 / 4.2 = 7

r₃ = y₃ / y₂ = 205.8 / 29.4 = 7

r₄ = y₄ / y₃ = 1440.6 / 205.8 = 7

The ratios are equal, so the function is exponential.

Y is directly proportional to x when y=30, x=6
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

a) y = 5x

b) y = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, y is directly proportional to x when y=30, x=6

\therefore \:  y \:  \alpha \:  \: x \\ \therefore \:  y =  kx ...(1) \\ plug \: y = 30 \: and \: x = 6  \: in \: eq \: (1)\\ 30 = k \times 6 \\ k =  \frac{30}{6}  \\ k = 5 \\ plug \: k = 5 \: in \: (1) \\ y = 5x....(2) \: (required \: equation) \\ plug \: x = 12 \: in \: eq \: (2) \\ y = 5 \times 12 \\  \huge \red{ \boxed{y = 60}}
