Focus on the values in red outside the table (on the left and right sides). As the output increases by 4, the input increases by 1. This leads to the slope being rise/run = 4/1 = 4. The slope is the number just to the left of the x variable. So that's how they ended up with the equation y = 4x.

You can think of it as y = 4x+0, and note how it's in the form y = mx+b

m = 4 = slope

b = 0 = y intercept

The y intercept is the value of y when x = 0.

--------

Now because x = 0 and y = 0 pair up together, we can find the slope a different way: Pick any row other than the first row. Divide the y value over its paired x value. So let's say we pick on row two and we'd get a slope of y/x = 4/1 = 4.

Or we could pick on row three and get y/x = 8/2 = 4.

Picking on the fourth row gets us the slope to be y/x = 12/3 = 4. We end up with the same slope value each time. Again, this trick only works if (x,y) = (0,0) is on the line. Otherwise, you'll need to use the first method or use the slope formula.

For equations like this, we consider them a direct proportion. As x increases, so does y. As x increases by 1, y increases by 4. This is the same throughout the table.

----------

A real world example of this could be that x represents the number of sodas you buy, and if each soda is $4, then y = 4x represents the total cost of buying x number of sodas.

For instance, if you bought x = 10 sodas, then y = 4*x = 4*10 = 40 dollars is what you spend overall.

Your answer would be B
When you have two angles, and want to know which lines must be congruent, you have to look at the transversal first. The two angles will share a side which is the transversal, and then their other side is one of the parallel lines. 
The converse of the corresponding angles theorem states that If corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.

Six yards of rope costs $5.50 while four yards costs $4.75
Amiraneli [1.4K]

The best option is the first one (Six yards of rope costs $5.50). It is the lowest unit cost.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

For the given question case, first we should compare the unit costs of the choices provided and evaluate the best option.

Choice 1:

Six yards of rope costs $ 5.50

            \frac{5.50 \text { dollar}}{6 \text { yard }}=0.9167\ dollar/yard

Choice 2:

Four yards costs $ 4.75

           \frac{4.75 \text { dollar}}{4 \text { yard }}=1.1875\ dollar/yard

Thus, the best choice is the first one. Because it is the lowest unit cost.
