Step-by-step explanation:
From image we get a graphical representation of the second-order polynomial 
, where 
is related to the horizontal axis of the Cartesian plane, whereas 
is related to the vertical axis of this plane. Now we proceed to estimate the solutions for each case:

Answer:
a. The Mexican Airline offers a better deal for 9 students to travel.
b. 10 students
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The Mexican Air airline offers a round trip airfare of $250 per person.
So, for 9 students the fare will be total $(250 × 9) = $2250
Now, the Fiesta airline offers a round trip airfare of $150 per person if the club agrees to pay a one-time group rate processing fee of $1000.
So, for 9 students the total fare will be = $[1000 + (150 × 9)] =$2350.
Therefore, the Mexican Airline offers a better deal for 9 students to travel. (Answer)
b. Let for x students both the airline offers the same total costs.
Then we can write
250x = 1000 + 150x {From the conditions given}
⇒ 100x = 1000
⇒ x = 10
So, if the number of students is 10, then only both the airlines will take same fare. (Answer)
It isn't proportional because 3/4 is proportional to 9/16 not 9/15.
