A
It is a first degree polynomial (aka linear because its highest power is 1) and it has two terms (2x and 8)
It does not have eight terms and is not a monomial (one term ie 3x^2)
a constant of proportionality is a number you have to multiply x by to get y.
y=kx is the equation that expresses the proportionality of x and y
the constant of proportionality is k, so k=-5
Emily is 12, Samantha is 14, and Lauren is 16. Basically all you do to solve this problem is add numbers that are two apart until you find something.
Ex. 2+4+6=12 4+6+8=18 so on and so forth.
Answer: A I did the work on my notebook by the way.
