HELP ME OUT JIM! math last hw for today

Choice D) As the side length increases by 1, the area increases and then decreases by an equal factor

Explanation:

Choice A is ruled out because the area does change. As x changes, y changes as well. This rules out choice B as well.

Choice C is somewhat close. However, it's not entirely true since the area doesn't increase by the same amount. For instance, the jump from points (2,18) to (3,24) indicate that the jump in y value is +6. But going from (3,24) to (4,28) shows a jump of +4 in the y value. So we can rule out choice C.

This means that choice D is the final answer.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
