The graph shows the relationship between time and the number of soda bottles a machine can
make. Use the points (4,96) and (6,144) to find
the number of soda bottles the machine can make
each minute.

The machine can make 24 bottles of soda per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the graph of the relationship, we can see that the number of bottles per minute simply represent the slope of the line

Thus, by calculating the slope using the given points, we can have the number of bottles per minute

We have the formula as;

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(x1,y1) = (4,96)

(x2,y2) = (6,144)

m = (144-96)/(6-4) = 48/2 = 24

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
