Which linear equation represents the situation?

y = 60 x
y = 60 x + 480
y = 4 x + 240
y = 270 x

(2.5,150)(4,240)

slope = (240 - 150) / (4 - 2.5) = 90 / 1.5 = 60

y = mx + b

slope(m) = 60

(4,240)...x = 4 and y = 240

now we sub and find b, the y int

240 = 60(4) + b

240 = 240 + b

240 - 240 = b

0 = b

so ur equation is : y = 60x + 0 which is written as : y = 60x <==
