D.) Y = 2x

Answer 2

when u have options....you have to try them....you should put 9 instead of X and -12 instead of Y and then both side must be equal

Answer 3

I think its C. I'm not sure

Answer 4

Can you double check your question? None of these options are correct.

Answer 5

@geerky42 alright? I'll check

Answer 6

(9, -12)

9 = x
-12 = y

-12 = 9/48 False
-12 = 48/9 False
9 = -12/2 False
-12 = 2(9) False

None of them check so idk :/

Answer 7

its X over 48 then 48 over X then Y over 2 then 2x

Answer 8

Answer 9

Oh i see the problem

Answer 10

( 9 , 12 )
x y

when x = 9, y = 12

test that in your choices, set x = 9 and see which one gives you y = 12
that one that does, is the solution

Answer 11

the question was wrong

Answer 12
