Grid lines to the right represent positive numbers for the first coordinate. 3 of them will put you on a grid line with a value of 3×0.5 = 1.5.
You now know enough to select the correct answer, ...
... (1.5, -2.5)
_____
You can confirm this is the correct answer by figuring the second coordinate. Down represents negative numbers, so down 5 units is -(5×0.5) = -2.5. This matches the second coordinate of the chosen answer.

Company B; the ratios of cost to weight are equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
In the equation, 
k is the constant of proportionality.
If the values are in accordance with , the values of k will be constant for all the values.
So we determine the values of k for both the companies and see which has a constant k.
If 
. In these tables, y is the total cost and x is the weight in lbs.
Step 2:
For company A,
when 
when 
when 
For company B,
when 
when 
when 
So company B has a constant value of 
.
X + 12 = n
N is 5 more than twelve so add 5 to 12 and you get 17.
To simplify the problem it would be: -18xy+18y^2
