Mila reads at a rate of 2 paragraphs per minute. After reading for 3 minutes, she had read a total of 6 paragraphs.
This situation can be represented with a linear equation written in point-slope form,
Let 'x' represents the number of minutes and,
y represents the number of paragraphs.
In one minute Mila reads 2 paragraphs .
So, y=2x
Let x=1 then y=2
x=2 then y =4
Here slope of equation is 2
Let( x1, y1) and (x2,y2) be the two point the equation y=2x the ,
we can write, (y2 - y1) = m(x2 - x1)
or (y2 - y1) = 2(x2 - x1)
Answer:
(3,6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Mila reads at a rate of 2 paragraphs per minute. After reading for 3 minutes, she had read a total of 6 paragraphs.
This situation can be represented with a linear equation written in slope-intercept form, as
[tex]y=2x[/tex]
where 'x' represents the number of minutes and,
y represents the number of paragraphs.
Since y intercept is 0 i.e. 0 paras in 0 minutes we have the equation as
[tex]y=2x[/tex]
Since no of minutes or paragraphs cannot take negative values this line is defined only in the I quadrant where both x and y are positive
Out of the points given as follows:
(3,6) (2,3) (-3,6) or (-2,6) ,
we can remove last two since they have negative x which is impossible.
Consider (3,6) (2,3)
Out of these only I point (3,6) satisfies [tex]y=2x[/tex] and second point (2,3) does not satisfy
[tex]y=2x[/tex]
Hence answer is (3,6)
