The Last Artist Standing One thousand Artists stood in a very large circle. Each, starting with the Jennifer
Lopez look-alike, wore a sign on his or her back with a numeral from 1 to 1000 in
a clockwise sequence. They began counting off. The Jennifer Lopez look-alike
said, "One in," and remained in the circle. The 76' basketball player to her left
said, "Two out," and left the circle. The rap singer next in sequence said,
"Three," and remained in the circle. The United States Senator who was next in
sequence said, "Four out," and left the circle.
I
So it continued with each person sporting an odd numeral stating the numeral,
saying "in," and remaining in the circle and with every person wearing an even
numeral leaving the circle.
It was easy to visualize who remained in the circle when the count off again
reached the Jennifer Lopez look-alike. Since the person before her said, "One
thousand out," and left the circle, she now said, "One in," and stayed in the
circle. Continuing this sequence the rap singer said, "Three out," and left the
circle. This process would keep going on and on until only one person was left in
the circle.

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.

answer is 12345678900987654321234567890987654321

step-by-step explanation:

one way is to plot 2 points and connect them which is what the answer choices seem to be doing

it seems to be using the y intercept and the slope

y=mx+b, m=slope, b=y-intercept (where the line hits the y axis)

slope=rise/run

y-intercept is where the line croses the y axis which is the y value where x=0

you seem to have given the wrong slope (you didn't put a number in front of te x, it should be 2/3 or 3/2 looking at the answer options)

y=? x-1

m=? because of your fault

b=-1

so it has a slope of ? and y intercept of -1, meaning it pases through (0,-1)

so draw point (0,-1) (so answer is one of the first 2 option)

if slope is 2/3, then go up 2 and right 3 then draw line through those 2 points

if slope is 3/2, then go up 3 and right 2 then draw line through those 2 points
