Equations don't really have x intercepts, functions or curves do. They're also known as the zeros of the function. When we set a function equal to zero we get an equation to solve, and the zeros of the function become the solutions or roots of the equation.
If a quadratic equation only has one root, that's a repeated root corresponding to a discriminant of zero.
In this example our equation is something like , or expanded
The discriminant here is
A coordinate plane with the x-axis labeled Blueberries (in pints) and the y-axis labeled Cost (in dollars) shows a line going through (0, 0) and (5, 17).
<h3>What is directly proportional?</h3>It is defined as the relationship between two quantities as one quantity increases the other quantity also increases and vice versa.
It is given that there is a proportional relationship between cost and pints of blueberries as,
Blueberries (in pints) 2 5
Cost (in dollars) 6.80 17
17/6.80 = 5/2
As we draw the graph and analyze each option one by one we get the graph shown by the statement C following the given proportional relationship.
Thus, a coordinate plane with the x-axis labeled Blueberries (in pints) and the y-axis labeled Cost (in dollars) shows a line going through (0, 0) and (5, 17).
