Answer: B)

Explanation:

By checking which graph is satisfied, we choose points that the function has pass through.

First, we know that y = mx + b, where m is the slope, how the line change; and b is the y-intercept. In this equation, the slope is 24 which the line is increased. So we can eliminate the choice D, the line in D decreased.

Then we find where the first point and second point this graph will be.

When x = 0, y = 24x = 24(0) = 0, (0,24)

When x = 1, y = 24x = 24(1) = 24, (1,24)

1 package can have 24 cookies, only B have 24 cookies in 1 package.
