Answer:
(3,6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Mila reads at a rate of 2 paragraphs per minute. After reading for 3 minutes, she had read a total of 6 paragraphs.
This situation can be represented with a linear equation written in slope-intercept form, as
where 'x' represents the number of minutes and,
y represents the number of paragraphs.
Since y intercept is 0 i.e. 0 paras in 0 minutes we have the equation as
Since no of minutes or paragraphs cannot take negative values this line is defined only in the I quadrant where both x and y are positive
Out of the points given as follows:
(3,6) (2,3) (-3,6) or (-2,6) ,
we can remove last two since they have negative x which is impossible.
Consider (3,6) (2,3)
Out of these only I point (3,6) satisfies and second point (2,3) does not satisfy
Hence answer is (3,6)
