The graph appears to go through the points (0, 0) and (1, 3), so has a constant of variation of (3-0)/(1-0) = 3. Its equation would be

... y = 3x


The equation can be rewritten by muliplying by y to get

... y = (10/3)x


The value 10/3 is greater than the value 3, so the appropriate choice is ...

... The equation has a greater constant of variation.
