No graphs. Cannot copy and paste here.
since you seep multiplying by 1.25, it will be an exponential function.
it is graph z. in the question it says there are 800 farmers markets in 2012 and by 2013 there are 1.25 times more. so all you have to do is multiply 800 by 1.25 to get 1000. the graph shows years after 2012 so the point is (1,1000) because 2013 is 1 year after 2012 and there are 1000 farmers markets in 2013
Graph Z
