Answer 1

To determine which points would appear on the linear function \( C = 1.25m + 25 \), we can compute the value of \( C \) for various values of \( m \):

1. For \( m = 2 \): \[ C = 1.25(2) + 25 = 2.5 + 25 = 27.5 \] The point is \( (2, 27.5) \).

2. For \( m = 4 \): \[ C = 1.25(4) + 25 = 5 + 25 = 30 \] The point is \( (4, 30) \).

3. For \( m = 30 \): \[ C = 1.25(30) + 25 = 37.5 + 25 = 62.5 \] The point is \( (30, 62.5) \).

4. For \( m = 35 \): \[ C = 1.25(35) + 25 = 43.75 + 25 = 68.75 \] The point is \( (35, 68.75) \).

5. For \( m = 8 \): \[ C = 1.25(8) + 25 = 10 + 25 = 35 \] The point is \( (8, 35) \).

6. For \( m = 2 \) (repeat): We have already computed it as \( (2, 27.5) \).

After checking these calculations, we can review the provided options:

• \( (2, 2.5) \) and \( (4, 5) \) are not correct.
• \( (30, 4) \) and \( (35, 8) \) are not correct.
• \( (4, 30) \) is correct, but \( (8, 35) \) does not come from our previous calculations.
• \( (2, 22.5) \) and \( (4, 20) \) are not correct either.

From the calculations, it's clear that the only points matching from the equation would be \( (2, 27.5) \) and \( (4, 30) \). However, among the options given, the closest points are \( (4, 30) \) and \( (8, 35) \), where \( (4, 30) \) is correct as per our calculations, while \( (8, 35) \) is just a miscalculation.

Thus, the relevant pair from the options is:

• \( (4, 30) \) and (8, 35) would be the closest to the points we calculated based on the distance formula provided.

So the best response based on provided points and calculations is (4, 30) as it accurately reflects part of the calculations shown.
