I need help on this question

Answer 1

Answer:

C. y = 8x

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope formula, we can calculate the rate of Marisol's and Timothy's Machines.

$m = \frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}$

Marisol:

$m = \frac{18-12}{3-2} \\m=6$

Timothy:

$m=\frac{54-36}{6-4} \\m=\frac{18}{2} \\m=9$

Now that we know the rate of their machines, we need to choose a rate that is between 6 and 9. Therefore, the rate of Zorian's machine needs to be y = 8x.
