If you want to cheat, paste the formula in Wolfram Alpha. However, this one is not that difficult. From the fact that x and y are squared you can infer that this is a circle. The 9 reveals that the radius r^2 is 9, so radius is 3.
The (x-2) tells us that the circle is shifted to the right by 2. Likewise, y+1 shifts it down by one. So the center is at (2,-1). If the equation would be x^2 + y^2 = 9, you'd have a circle exactly on the origin.
Hopefully this helps you break down the equation and pick the right picture!
The possible values of x could be -5 and -1 ithink idk
Given, Customers pay $4 to enter the pumpkin patch.
And also given, customers pay $3 per pound for the pumpkins.
Given, $y be the total cost and there are x pounds of pumpkins.
The cost for pumpkin per pound = $3.
Therefore, the cost for x pound pumpkins = $(3x)
As the total cost includes the payment for entering the patch also,
So the total cost y = 3x + 4
We have got the required equation.
The equation to model the total cost is y = 3x+4.
8/2.79 = 1/2.867, or $2.86 per each oz
15/5.54 = 2.707/1, or 2 oz for every 1 dollar
the 15 oz jar of salsa has the better unit rate
hope this helps
