Answer 1

The correct graph is the first graph on the top left corner amongst the options

Explanation:

The graph that shows that Cindy reads about 3/4 of the time while riding the car is given by the following relation;

Let 't' represent the time Cindy spend riding the car

Therefore, we are given that

The time Cindy spend reading = 3/4·t

Therefore, when Cindy rides the car for t = 4 hours, the time Cindy spend reading = 3/4·t = 3/4 × 4 = 3 hours

The coordinates of the point on the graph will therefore, be (4, 3)

Therefore, when the y-coordinate of the graph )the time Cindy spends reading) = 3, the x-coordinate of the graph (the time Cindy spends driving) = 4
