I’m pretty sure it’s linear!
This sets up as a very commonly used proportion.
90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x Cross multiply
90 x = 18.95 Divide by 90
x = 18.95 / 90
x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.
Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.

Answer: The coordinates of the vertex are : (-1,-2)
Step-by-step explanation: To find the x coordinate, we use the formula:
Xv = -b/2a = -6/(2.3) = -6/6 = -1
Replacing x by -1, we write:
y = 3. (-1)^2 + 6. (-1) +1 = 3 - 6 + 1 = -2
