Question

I need help on this question

Answer 1

C. y = 8x

Explanation:

Using the slope formula, we can calculate the rate of Marisol's and Timothy's Machines.

`m = (y_1-y_2)/(x_1-x_2)`

Marisol:

`m = (18-12)/(3-2) \\m=6`

Timothy:

`m=(54-36)/(6-4) \\m=(18)/(2) \\m=9`

Now that we know the rate of their machines, we need to choose a rate that is between 6 and 9. Therefore, the rate of Zorian's machine needs to be y = 8x.
