The graph shows the total number of inches of snow after different numbers of hours. Which equation can be used to find the total number of inches of snow, y, after x hours?
A. y = 1.5x
B. y = 2x
C. y = 3x
D. y = 4.5x

A, is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you take two points and then find the slope between them you'll find that it is 1.5.

You could also make a T-chart or plug in the x coordinates into each possible equation and see which one matches the corresponding y coordinate.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
