I believe that the answer is C.
Answer:
- m = (2-(-2))/(2-(-2)) = 4/4 = 1
- y +2 = 1(x +2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The point-slope form of the equation for a line with slope m through point (x1, y1) is ...
y -y1 = m(x -x1)
To find the slope of the line, find the ratio of the difference in y-values of the points to the difference in corresponding x-values. Here, the slope is ...
m = (2 -(-2))/(2 -(-2)) = 4/4 = 1 . . . work to compute slope
The problem statement tells you x1 = -2, y1 = -2. Putting the numbers in to the point-slope form gives ...
y -(-2) = 1(x -(-2))
y + 2 = x + 2 . . . equation form with m, (x1, y1) filled in

The answer at the top leaves the slope shown as 1. We don't know how much simplification you are expected to do. Obviously, this <em>could</em> be simplified to y=x, but then the use of (-2, -2) for the point would not be obvious.

Take away 1,3 it interferes with 1,1 making it not a function. You can use the vertical line test and see if more than one is in a vertical line to find it.
Assume Charles charges $7*3=$21 if he babysits for 2,5 hours (that is 2 and a half hours).
That is we are not considering Charles babysitting exactly 1, 2, 3 or 4 hours, but also in between times.
then we can write the following piecewise function to describe the situation:
f is a function from (0, 4] to {$7, $14, $21, $28}
