The data in the table represents the predicted price of a gallon of milk, y, for number of years, x. A 2-column table with 5 rows. The first column is labeled years with entries 0, 1, 2, 3, 4. The second column is labeled price (dollar sign) with entries 3.00, 3.12, 3.24, 3.37, 3.51. Which form of an equation was used to model the price of a gallon of milk? A) y = ax + b
B) y = ax2 + b
C) y = abx
D) y = a + bx

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

ca = ec

cpctc makes it so that corresponding parts of the triangle you proved to be equal are equal, the other options aren't part of the part of the triangles you proved to be equal.
