I think the answer would be “Point D” because it’s outside of the general line that it’s trying to create
If you double the price of the 12 for 2.50 you get 24 for 5.00 which is better than 24 for 5.99
Ok. So first, we calculate the slope!
m=(y2-y1)÷(x2-x1)= (5-2)÷(3-1)=3/2.
Now that we have the slope, we can start to write an equation for the line by plugging in the given points. b is the y-intercept.
y=mx+b.
2=(3/2)1+b
b=2-(3/2)=2-1.5=.5 or 1/2
so the y-int is (0,.5 or 1/2) .
Next, we have to find the x-int.
to do that, we just plug in 0 for the y.
0=1.5x+.5
x=-.5/1.5= (1/3)
so the x-intercept is
(1/3 or .33,0).
