Answer 2

Hello

Answer 3

Each trip up the hill, Jack and Jill obtained 2 more buckets of water.

^this means with 1 trip, the buckets increase by 2... ie the slope of the line must be 2.

It also must have a y-intercept of 5 since "Jack and Jill had 5 pails of water."

Answer 4

it has a y-int of 5 and slope of 2

Answer 5

so solve for y=2x+5, correct?

Answer 6

yes
