Yesterday, selma read 75 pages of her book. if she reads at a pace of 2 pages per minute today, which table shows only viable solutions for the total number of pages she has read, y, after x minutes have elapsed?

yesterday, selma read 75 pages of her book. if she reads at a pace of 2 pages per minute today, it means every minute,while reading, 2 pages will be added to her total number.

using  the general form of a linear equation:

y = mx  + b

here,

m is the rate of change or simply the slope, which is 2 pages/minute. and y-intercept will be the number pages she has already read.

so,

y = 2x + 75

now using this equation, we have to see which table satisfies the equation.

taking 1 or 2 values from each table, we will get;

table 1:

x = -16 and y = 43

substituting the values,

43 = 2(-16) + 75

43 = -32 + 75

43 = 43

again,

x = 6 and y = 87

substituting the values,

87 = 2(6) + 75

87 = 12 + 75

87 = 87.

again,

x = 27 and y  = 129

substituting the values,

129 = 2(27) + 75

129 = 54 + 75

129 = 129

this satisfies the equation.

therefore, the best answer is the table  option 1.
