Answer:
The correct option is A
A) y = (1/5)x + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the first cut shown in the graph is:
y = (1/5)x - 1
We know that a general form of linear equation is given as:
y = mx + c
Comparing both equations, we get that the slope m = 1/5
As the second cut is parallel to the first cut, it will have the same slope, that is m = 1/5
Substitute it in the general linear equation
y = mx + c
y = (1/5)x + c
We know that this equation passes through the point (0,6), substitute it in the above equation>
6 = (1/5)(0) + c
c = 6
The equation for second cut be found by using m = 1/5 and c = 6
y = mx + c
y = (1/5)x + 6
