Question

Objects weigh less on Jupiter's moon Europa than they do on Earth. If an object

weighs 1 pound on Earth, it weighs 0.13 pound on Europa.

Let x represent weight in
pounds on Earth and y represent weight in pounds on Europa. This situation is
graphed below. Which equation represents this situation?


A. 0.13
B. 7.69
C. -0.26x
D. -0.13x

Answer 1

y=0.13x

Explanation:

y=0.13x means for each 1 x, the y goes up by 0.13. this works because 1 pound here on earth is 0.13 pound on europa. (example: if x is 1, y = 0.13. if x is 2, y = 0.26.)
