Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: the answer is C y= 4x + 2 (usatestprep)

Answer:

C) [tex]y=4x+2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

let's check all the options:

  • A) [tex]y=2(4)x=8x[/tex]

if x = a

[tex]y(a)=8a[/tex]

and now with x = a + 2

[tex]y(a+2)=8(a+2)=8a+16[/tex]

the answer increased by 16. it is not the right option

  • B) [tex]y=2(8x)=16x[/tex]

if x = a

[tex]y(a)=16a[/tex]

and now with x = a + 2

[tex]y(a+2)=16(a+2)=16a+32[/tex]

the answer increased by 32. it is not the right option

  • C) [tex]y=4x+2[/tex]

if x = a

[tex]y=4a+2[/tex]

and now with x = a + 2

[tex]y(a+2)=4(a+2)+2=4a+8+2=4a+10[/tex]

this time, between [tex]4a+2[/tex] and [tex]4a+10[/tex] there is a difference of 8.

so for this function the statement is true.
