How are literal equations similar to and different for equations in one variable

An equation representing lyle’s hedge-trimming business is a = 12n - 300 where a is the amount of profit or loss in dollars and n is the number of hedges trimmed. how would the graph of lyle’s business change if the equation a = 10n - 300 represented his business? the graph would be flatter. the graph would be steeper. the graph would start closer to the origin. the graph would start lower on the y-axis.

The table shows the relationship between the number of cups of cereal and the number of cups of raisins in a cereal bar recipe: number of cups of cereal number of cups of raisins 8 2 12 3 16 4 molly plotted an equivalent ratio as shown on the grid below: a graph is shown. the title of the graph is cereal bars. the horizontal axis label is cereal in cups. the x-axis values are 0, 20, 40, 60, 80,100. the vertical axis label is raisins in cups. the y-axis values are 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. a point is plotted on the ordered pair 40,20. which of these explains why the point molly plotted is incorrect? (a) if the number of cups of cereal is 40, then the number of cups of raisins will be10. (b)if the number of cups of raisins is 40, then the number of cups of cereal will be10. (c) if the number of cups of cereal is 40, then the number of cups of raisins will be 80. (d) if the number of cups of raisins is 40, then the number of cups of cereal will be 80.

An object is translated by (x + 4, y - 2). if one point in the image has the coordinates (5, -3), what would be the coordinates of its pre-image? (9, -5) (1, -5) (9, -1) (1, -1)
