i know the answer is a but explain : )

9. the graph of g(x) = 5x is a transformation of the graph of f(x) = x. which of the
following describes the transformation?
a stretched vertically
c reflected across the x-axis
b compressed vertically
d reflected across the y-axis

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2

substitute,

circle 1 = 5

circle 2 = 20

circle 3 = 44

in this case no matter how you add, you will always get a perfect square..

hence proved

happy to

pls mark as brainliest
