Answer - D.
you basically find the equation of the line first and eliminate the wrong answers...
Strategy: before u do any of this, label your coordinates as (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y2) and u can choose any of ur points to be as x1 or x2 or y1 or y1...
basically, I'll choose (6,7) as (x1,y1) and (2,-1) as (x2,y2). SO,
First you have to find the gradient (m) of the line.
you do this by using the formula m = Y2-Y1 / X2-X1 (where '/' is division sign) ....
Put the numbers in their respective places and your gradient will be 2x. we put the x after our number to represent it as a gradient as the straight line formula is y = mx+c and you've found the m.
NOW.
use the formula Y-Y1=m(x-x1) to find the equation of the line.Again u can use any Y1 and X1 here but remember your m is 2
replace the digits and solve...Hopefully you'll get sth like this if you use the points (6,7):
Y-7 = 2(x-6) ....
y=2x-12+7...
Y=2x-5! <<<< this is your straight line equation!
Now all u gotta do is rearrange all your options into y = mx+c.
D. is incorrect as it gives us y=2x+5 and not y = 2x-5 unlike the others
Hope you get it!

Answer:
Solid paper costs 1.75 each
Printed paper costs 2.50 each
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Ben = $43.50 (12 rolls solid paper and 9 rolls of printed paper)
Joel = $51.50 (8 rolls solid paper and 15 rolls of printed paper)
Let x = solid paper
Let y = printed paper
12x + 9y = 43.50
8x + 15y = 51.50
Find x:
8x + 15y = 51.50
8x = 51.50 - 15y
x = (51.50 - 15y)/8
Substitute x:
12x + 9y = 43.50
12(51.50 - 15y)/8 + 9y = 43.50
(618 - 180y)/8 + 9y = 43.50
8 (618 - 180y)/8 + 8*9y = 43.50 * 8
618 - 180y + 72y = 348
-108y = 348 - 618
-108y = -270
-108y/-108 = -270/-108
y = 2.50
x = (51.50 - 15y)/8
x = (51.50 - 15(2.5) /8
x = (51.50 - 37.50)/8
x = 14/8
x = 1.75
To check: x = 1.75 ; y = 2.5
12x + 9y = 43.50
12(1.75) + 9(2.5) = 43.50
21 + 22.50 = 43.50
43.50 = 43.50
8x + 15y = 51.50
8(1.75) + 15(2.5) = 51.50
14 + 37.50 = 51.50
51.50 = 51.50
