Question

Mila reads at a rate of 3 paragraphs per minute.

After reading for 4 minutes, she had read a total of 12 paragraphs.

This situation can be represented with a linear equation written in point-slope form, where x represents the number of minutes and y represents the number of paragraphs.

Use this information to complete each statement about the linear equation.

Answer 1

y= 3x

Explanation:

This is honestly your basic times tables if we are being honest. We know that she read 3 paragraphs per minute. We also know that in 4 minutes, she read 12 paragraphs. 4 times 3 = 12. So the answer is y=3x.

Answer 2

slope of the linear equation is 3

a point on the graph of a linear equation is (4,12)

linear equation can be written as y-12 = 3 (x-4)

Explanation:

Cuz it is
