Option B: 256 is the diameter of the bacteria after 8 hours.

Explanation:

From the given, it is obvious that the graph is an exponential function.

The general formula is given by,

y=a(b)^x

Where a is the initial population,

b is the growth rate and

x is the number of hours.

It is given that the diameter of the bacteria doubles every hour.

Then, we have,

b=2

Let us substitute the coordinate (0,1) and b=2, we get,

1=a(2)^0

1=a

Thus, substituting a=1 and b=2 in the general formula y=a(b)^x, we have,

y=1(2)^x

We need to determine the diameter of the bacteria after 8 hours.

Let us substitute x = 8 in the equation y=1(2)^x, we get,

y=1(2)^8

y=1(256)

y=256

Thus, the diameter of the bacteria after 8 hours is 256

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

The percentage profit is 140%

What is percentage?

Percentage can be described as the expression of a number in hundredth.

The formula for calculating percentage profit is

profit/cost price × 100

cost price=  $50
selling price= $15
number of mats produced= 8

selling price of the mat= 15 × 8
= 120

Profit= selling price-cost price

= 120-50
$70

Therefore the percentage profit can be calculated as follows

= 70/50 × 100
= 1.4 ×100
= 140

Thus, the percentage profit is 140%

The point-slope form:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (5, -3) and (-2, 9). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{9-(-3)}{-2-5}=\dfrac{12}{-7}=-\dfrac{12}{7}\\\\y-(-3)=-\dfrac{12}{7}(x-5)\\\\\boxed{y+3=-\dfrac{12}{7}(x-5)}
