Question

Which graph shows the points (–3, 5) and (4, –3) plotted correctly?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is clearly a linear relationship.  If Alex rented the movie for 0 days, he'd owe nothing.  If he paid $6 for a 3-day rental, the slope of this line would be m = rise / run = $6/(3 days) = $2/day, which is positive.

Then the equation for this graph is C(x) = ($2/day)x, where x is the number of days for which the movie is rented.

Using this formula, we find three particular points on the graph:

(1, $2), (2, $4), (3, ($6)
