Question

i need help..the picture is the graph the question are "write a equation thst represents the proportional relationship between Twix bars and their weight. Indicate the meaning of each variable" The other question is "explain the meaning of the point (1, 1.5) in terms of the situation"

Answer 1

y=1.5x

The weight of one single Twix candy bar: 1.5 ounces.

1) A proportional relationship, graphically is described as a linear function with the line passing through the origin.

As we see in the graph.

2) If 20 candy bars weigh 30 ounces, then we can set a table:

Twix candy bar (x) | weight (y)

20 30

10 15

5 7.5

1 1.5

Therefore we can write an equation, for that proportional behavior:

y=kx

y=1.5x

The meaning of (1,1.5) is simply the unit rate for the Twix candy bar and its weight. Or in other words, the weight of one single Twix candy bar: 1.5 ounces.

3) The answers are:

y=1.5x

The weight of one single Twix candy bar: 1.5 ounces.
