The cost of milk is modeled by a linear equation where four quarts (one gallon) costs $3.09 while two quarts (half-gallon) costs $1.65. Write the linear equation that expresses the price in terms of quarts. How much would
an eight-quart container of milk cost?

linear equation to express the price is:

y=0.72x+0.21

An eight quarts will cost :  $5.97

Step-by-step explanation:

linear equation represent y=mx+b

let x=quarts ( x=4, x=2)

y= price (3.09 and y=1.65 )

two points (4,3.09) and (2,1.65)

need to find the slope m:

y2-y1/x2-x1

(1.65-3.09)/(2-4) ⇒ m=0.72

y=0.72x+b  find b at point (2,1.65)

1.65=0.72(2) +b  ⇒ b=0.21

y=0.72x +0.21

check : point (4,3.09)

y=0.72(4) +0.21

y=3.09  ( correct)

An eight quarts will cost :

y=0.72(8)+0.21

y=5.97 dollars

the distance from any point on the parabola to the focus is the exact same as the distance from that point to the directrix.

if you could provide answer choices that might allow me to answer the question easier if my above answer isn't an option! (:
