you need to find how much the output changes for each unit change in the input. (ie from an input change from 5 to 6 the output changes by three units and an input change of 3 (2 - 5 ) units the output changes by 9 units). This will give you the gradient of the equation. then you have to find out the y intercept by finding what the output is when the input is 0. Do this by multiplying the input by the gradient and then subtracting it from that inputs output. This will give you the answer A) 3x
(Sorry, its a bit wordy :) )
The answer to this question would be B. 5 2/4 hours. We can figure this out by adding up all of the times that were marked in the chart.
I hope this helped! :-)
Note that both 12 and 30 are multiples of 2. Divide the numerator and denominator by 2. 6/15. Note that 6 and 15 are multiples of 3. Divide the numerator and denominator by 3. 2/5. Note that 2 and 5 are both prime numbers. Your answer is 2/5.
