Answer 1

the answer would be D

Answer 2

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Jackie is selling smoothies at a school fair. She starts the day with $15 in her cash box to provide change to her customers.

Each smoothie costs $3.75, then cost of x smoothies is: $3.75x

Then, y=3.75x+15

When x=0 y=15

when x=4 y=3.75×4+15

i.e. y=30

The only graph which satisfies y=0 at x=0 and y=30 at x=4 is D.

Hence, the correct graph is:

D.
