Draw a cartesian plane, create a graph with the equation x = y^2 - 2
then substitute numbers into the equation so that it is true, to find points on the graph, e.g. substitute y with 1, you get
x = 1^2 - 2
x = 1 - 2 = -1, so when y = 1, x = -1, this point is (-1, 1)
for the next substitute y with 2,
x = 2^2 - 2
x = 4 - 2 = 2, the point is (2, 2)
you might want to try negative values of y
y = -1, x = (-1)^2 - 2
x = -1 the point is (-1,-1)
then plot the points on the graph
Per half gallon it is $2.25
1/2 G=$2.25
1 G=$4.50
1 1/2 G=$6.75
And so on...
Hope this helped
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
choose any point on the graph
3b<40 because no matter what the price cannot be over 40 because she only has 40
