Answer:
Summary
Interest in the linguistics of humor is widespread and dates since classical times. Several theoretical models have been proposed to describe and explain the function of humor in language. The most widely adopted one, the semantic-script theory of humor, was presented by Victor Raskin, in 1985. Its expansion, to incorporate a broader gamut of information, is known as the General Theory of Verbal Humor. Other approaches are emerging, especially in cognitive and corpus linguistics. Within applied linguistics, the predominant approach is an analysis of conversation and discourse, with a focus on the disparate functions of humor in conversation. Speakers may use humor pro-socially, to build in-group solidarity, or anti-socially, to exclude and denigrate the targets of the humor. Most of the research has focused on how humor is co-constructed and used among friends, and how speakers support it. Increasingly, corpus-supported research is beginning to reshape the field, introducing quantitative concerns, as well as multimodal data and analyses. Overall, the linguistics of humor is a dynamic and rapidly changing field.Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
(-1,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a scenario and asked to choose which graph (described verbally) represents the scenario.
Let us break down the scenario piece by piece.
The first part of the scenario is that Kent walked to the bus station. His speed will be constant so that graph will show a line sloping upward.
Next, Kent waited for the bus. This will be represented by a horizontal line.
Then, he rode the bus. This will be represented by a sloping line but steeper than the first part of the graph since the speed of the bus is greater than Kent's speed.
Finally, Kent walked to work. The graph would still be a sloping line but the slope will be less than the previous part of the graph.
So, the answer is
<span>The line increases for 10 minutes, stays horizontal for 15 minutes, increases rapidly for another 25 minutes, then increases slowly for 5 minutes.</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form 
or 
in this problem
For x=32, y=-4
Find the value of the constant of proportionality k
substitute
simplify
so
The linear equation is
Find x when the value of y=0
Remember that
In a proportional relationship <u><em>the line passes through the origin</em></u>
so
If y=0
then
the value of x must be equal to zero
therefore
