I believe it is A and Yes
The bigger the price is on an item, the more tax you would have to pay, so both numbers increase. As for whether or not there is a line through the dots, you use a line when you could go inbetween the points. For example, with this question you can have 0.24, 0.86, or any other number as the price and it would make sense. If the question was sales tax on a certain number of shirts, well, you can't buy half a shirt so you don't need anywhere inbetween the dots.
Proportional in these kinds of problems means whether or not the line curves. If it doesn't and is a straight line, then it is proportional.
Absolute value means ignore negative signs, so #38 is asking is 282 greater or less than 279. it's greater. #39 is negative of |-10| the absolute value signs work as parentheses too, so it's -(10) so -10

Example: f(x) = 2x+3 and g(x) = x2
"x" is just a placeholder. To avoid confusion let's just call it "input":
f(input) = 2(input)+3
g(input) = (input)2
Let's start:
(g º f)(x) = g(f(x))
First we apply f, then apply g to that result:
Function Composition
- (g º f)(x) = (2x+3)2
What if we reverse the order of f and g?
(f º g)(x) = f(g(x))
First we apply g, then apply f to that result:
Function Composition
- (f º g)(x) = 2x2+3
We get a different result! When we reverse the order the result is rarely the same. So be careful which function comes first.
