Answer:
Ok..? Anyway. It really depends what is being sold. So if 3 pints of raspberries are being sold for $12, then it would be $4 per pint.
bearing in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's find the slope of 5x - y = 9 then.
![\bf 5x-y=9\implies -y=-5x+9\implies y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{5}x-9\leftarrow \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%205x-y%3D9%5Cimplies%20-y%3D-5x%2B9%5Cimplies%20y%3D%5Cstackrel%7B%5Cstackrel%7Bm%7D%7B%5Cdownarrow%20%7D%7D%7B5%7Dx-9%5Cleftarrow%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7B%7Cc%7Cll%7D%20%5Ccline%7B1-1%7D%20slope-intercept~form%5C%5C%20%5Ccline%7B1-1%7D%20%5C%5C%20y%3D%5Cunderset%7By-intercept%7D%7B%5Cstackrel%7Bslope%5Cqquad%20%7D%7B%5Cstackrel%7B%5Cdownarrow%20%7D%7Bm%7Dx%2B%5Cunderset%7B%5Cuparrow%20%7D%7Bb%7D%7D%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%20%5Ccline%7B1-1%7D%20%5Cend%7Barray%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill)

so then, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1/5 and runs through (3,-10).

and it looks like the one in the picture below.
<h2>
<u>Answer</u><u> </u><u>:</u></h2>
Option (2) and Option (3) is the correct answer .
<u>Requ</u><u>ired</u><u> </u><u>Ex</u><u>plaination</u><u> </u><u>:</u>
Scenario 2 : The height of a stone shot by a catapult reaches a maximum height and then falls on the ground.
- The graph of this scenario is a downward parabola. Therefore option 2 is correct.
Scenario 3 : The sale of product increases at first and then decreases.
- The graph of this scenario is a downward parabola. Therefore option 3 is correct.
<u>Therefore, the correct options are </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>and</u><u> </u><u>3</u><u>.</u>
