Mila reads at a rate of 2 paragraphs per minute.
After reading for 3 minutes, she had read a total of 6 paragraphs.
This situation can be represented with a linear equation written in point-slope form, where x represents the number of minutes and y represents the number of paragraphs.
Use this information to complete each statement about the linear equation.
Please help me

no of minutes = x
no of paragraphs = y
ATQ
2x = y
if x = 1 if x = 2 if x = 3
2 (1) = y 2(2) = y 2(3) = y
2 = y 4 = y 6 = y
(x,y) = (1, 2) (x, y) = (2, 4) (x, y) = (3, 6)
the graph will lie on a slope passing through origin
The given situation can be represented with a slope intercept linear equation = y = 2x
where x is the number of minutes and, y is the number of paragraphs.
Since the number of paragraphs or minutes can't take any negative values thus the line will be defined in only in the first quadrant where both x and y will be positive.
The points formed will be - (2,3), (3,6) (-3,6) or (-2,6) ,
Considering only (3,6) (2,3) as (-3,6) or (-2,6) are negative.
Only the point (3,6) will satisfy the equation y = 2x and not the second point.
Thus, the required point will be (3,6).
