Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm sure he was making a joke at the expense of people who rely on mathematics rather than common sense. It is funny, but then Twain was a remarkably funny author..
The problem is that the comparison is apt using some sort of proportion, but it is absurd to think that the land holding the river would also shrink a proportional amount.
The river reached a minimum (presumably) in 1875 by cutting out all the loops that were there in 1700. The Mississippi was then a straight line from it's beginning to its delta on the gulf of Mexico. It could not get any shorter. Still, Twain managed to get laughs with his whimsical humor.

Answer: B) Profit per shirt goes from $10 to $15
================================================
Explanation:
Focus on the two points (2,0) and (3,10). The slope of the line through these points is
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (10-0)/(3-2)
m = 10
Meaning the profit per shirt for this line is $10 per shirt.
----------
Now move onto the other line. Focus on the points (9,40) and (11,70)
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (70-40)/(11-9)
m = 15
The profit per shirt has gone up to $15 per shirt
The sr of 22 is 4.69 hope this helps:)
Answer
D. X>5
