Answer:

C. [tex] M(x) = 4x + 4 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the rate of change/slope (m) using two pairs (1, 8) and (2, 12):

[tex] slope (m) = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{12 - 8}{2 - 1} = \frac{4}{1} = 4 [/tex]

(Note: M(x) = y)

Find y-intercept (b) by substituting x = 1, M(x) = 8, and m = 4 in M(x) = mx + b.

Thus:

8 = (4)(1) + b

8 = 4 + b

Subtract 4 from each side

8 - 4 = b

4 = b

b = 4

substitute m = 4, and b = 4 in M(x) = mx + b, to get the equation that models the relationship.

The equation would be:

✅ [tex] M(x) = 4x + 4 [/tex]
