Answer 2

y = 5x

D is the correct option.

Explanation:

We have been given that sheltie puppy gets 2.5 cups of food twice per day.

It means that in a day she eats 5 cups of food. It means the rate is 5 cups of food per day.

The equation will be linear.

Let y be the number of cups of food she eat and x is the number of days.

Hence, we have

Slope = 5

And the equation that represents the number of cups of food she eats is given by

y = 5x

D is the correct option.
