Answer:
C. y = 8x
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the slope formula, we can calculate the rate of Marisol's and Timothy's Machines.
[tex]m = \frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}[/tex]
Marisol:
[tex]m = \frac{18-12}{3-2} \\m=6[/tex]
Timothy:
[tex]m=\frac{54-36}{6-4} \\m=\frac{18}{2} \\m=9[/tex]
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.
