Answer: C) 5
--------------
x = independent variable, y = dependent variable
Assuming this is a linear function, each increase of x by 2 leads to y going up by 10. So 10/2 = 5 is the unit increase each time x bumps up by 1.
-------------------
An alternative is to use the slope formula to get
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (25 - 15)/(4 - 2)
m = 10/2 <--- this expression shows up again
m = 5 <---- leading to the same answer as before
So we see that the slope formula is a more drawn out method to finding the answer.
We are asked in the problem to devise a polynomial equation that has a GCF of 6 which means each of the terms can be divided to 6. For example: 6*(x^2 + x+1) = 6x^2 + 6x +6. This polynomial is created by multiplying each terms by the number 6 which is distinguished by factoring.
The vertex of a parabola is the maximum or minimum value, and it’s represented by (x,y). The axis of symmetry is the vertical line that runs through the x axis, and also runs through the vertex. This means that the x value in the vertex (x,y) can represent the axis of symmetry.
Direct variation means their ratio is a constant
x/y is 9/45=1/5
so when x=2, y=5*2=10
