<span>the answer to this is (3,-2)</span>
Yes they are equivalent because they both equal 24 because 240÷10=24 and 288÷12=24 so yes they are equivalent
step 1
find the equation of the line
where
x-------> numbers of light bulbs
y-------> the total cost in $
let
A (0,0) B (10,18)
slope m=18/10-----> m=1.8
step 2
with m=1.8 and the point A (0,0)
y-y1=m*(x-x1)------> y=1.8x
step 3
for x=1
y=1.8*1------> y=$1.8
therefore
the answer is
the cost of a single light bulb is $1.8
