The graph represents revenue in dollars as a function of greeting cards sold. A coordinate plane showing Greeting Card Revenue, Number of Cards Sold on the x-axis and Revenue in dollars on the y-axis. A line starts at (0. 0) and passes through (2, 8), (4, 16), and ends at (5, 20).

Which equation represents the function shown on the graph?

y = x
y = x
y = 2x
y = 4x

The equation that represents the graph is y=4x.

Step-by-step explanation: If you plug in just one coordinate in each equation, you will find that these are the following outcomes no matter which coordinate you pick(but I'm picking (2,8) for your view):

y=x   ,    8=2

y=x   ,    8=2

y=2x    ,     8=4

y=4x   ,   8=8(ONLY CORRECT STATEMENT)

one way is to plot 2 points and connect them which is what the answer choices seem to be doing

it seems to be using the y intercept and the slope

y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept (where the line hits the y axis)

slope=rise/run

y-intercept is where the line croses the y axis which is the y value where x=0

you seem to have given the wrong slope (you didn't put a number in front of te x, it should be 2/3 or 3/2 looking at the answer options)

y=? x-1

m=? because of your fault

b=-1

so it has a slope of ? and y intercept of -1, meaning it pases through (0,-1)

so draw point (0,-1) (so answer is one of the first 2 option)

if slope is 2/3, then go up 2 and right 3 then draw line through those 2 points

if slope is 3/2, then go up 3 and right 2 then draw line through those 2 points
