Answer 1

option A

Explanation:

Williamston Daily newspaper started printing newspaper.

Three years ago they had 5600 subscribers.

every month there is an increase of 71 new subscribers.

n is the number of months the paper has been printed.

so, the linear model will be

B= early subscriber + number of month × increments

B= 5600 + n × 71

B= 71 n + 5600

hence, the correct answer will be option A

Answer 2

5600 is a constant , hence not accompanied by any variable. Each month, 71 subscribers increases .Therefore answer would be A. B = 71n + 5600
