The value of a collectible coin can be represented by the equation y = 2 x + 9.74, where x represents the number of years that Consuello has owned the coin and y represents the total value, in dollars, of the coin. What was the value of the coin when Consuello originally purchased it? $4.87 $7.74 $9.74 $19.48

you would multiply 2 * 4.87 and then add that to 9.74 and then you do that to everyone and then one of them will get you your answer and I am not sure about the answer but I think its b

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of the coin when Consuelo originally purchased it is $9.74 ⇒ C

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the linear equation is;

y = m x + b, where

m is the slope of the line (The rate)

b is the y-intercept (initial amount, value y at x = 0)

∵ The value of a collectible coin can be represented by the equation

  y = 2 x + 9.74

→ Compare it with the form of the linear equation above

∴ m = 2

∴ b = 9.74

∵ x represents the number of years that Consuelo has owned the coin

∵ y represents the total value, in dollars, of the coin

→ That means the value of y at x = 0 is the value of the coin when

  Consuelo originally purchased it

∵ b represents the value of y at x = 0

∵ b = 9.74

∴ The value of the coin when Consuelo originally purchased it is $9.74

i'm sure goog can you get that answer
