Which of the following equations is modeled by the graph? A)

a = 50t

B)

a = 5t

C)

a = 50 + t

D)

a = 10t

a = 50t

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is rise over run, or y/x.

In this graph, the rise (y) is the account balance, while the run (x) is time. To solve for the slope, or the "equation modeled by the graph," we need to divide the rise by the run.

The graph is shown in terms of (a, t). If we look at the first point, (50,1), the rise is 50 and the run is 1. 50/1 is 50. Therefore, a = 50t, since a = 50 and t = 1.

To check, we can try another point, (100, 2). The rise is 100 and the run is 2. Divide these together and you still get 50. You are multiplying the "t" value by 50 to get the "a" value.

Therefore, it's a = 50t

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

a; x = 0.5

step-by-step explanation:

-10x = -5

x = 0.5
