y equals 20x minus 9
Image with alt text: y equals 20x minus 9
y = 20x + 16
y = 20 x + 16
y equals start fraction x superscript 2 baseline plus 8x minus 25 over 8 end fraction
Image with alt text: y equals start fraction x superscript 2 baseline plus 8x minus 25 over 8 end fraction
y equals start fraction x superscript 2 baseline plus 4x minus 37 over 8 end fraction
