Question

Look at the graph of the equation y = 5x. Which statement is true?

A)
As x increases by 1, y decreases by 5
B)
As x increases by 1, y increases by 5.
C)
As x increases by 1, y remains constant
D)
As x increases by 1, y increases by

Answer 1

B. As x increases by 1, y increases by 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is 5/1, and slope is rise over run or y/x. So 5 is a positive number, it increases.

Answer 2

Answer : The correct option is, (B) As x increases by 1, y increases by 5.

Explanation :

The graph of the equation is,

y = 5x

here,

x and y are two variables.

When x = 1 then y = 5(1) = 5

When x = 2 then y = 5(2) = 10

When x = 3 then y = 5(3) = 15

When x = 4 then y = 5(4) = 20

and so on........

From this we conclude that, as the value of 'x' increases by 1 then the value of 'y' increases by 5.

Hence, the correct option is, (B) As x increases by 1, y increases by 5.
