Question

An indoor soccer field can be rented for personal use. The total cost for renting the field can be found by using the equation y= 225x. The x-variable is the number of hours the field is

being rented, and the y-variable is the total cost, in dollars.
Which statement is true based on the given equation?

A) The equation shows a linear relationship, but not a proportional relationship.

B) The equation shows a linear relationship and a proportional relationship

C) The equation does not show a linear relationship or a proportional relationship

D) The equation shows a proportional relationship,but not a linear relationship.

PLS HELP!!

Answer 1

The equation y=225x represents a proportional relationship between the number of hours the field is being rented and the total cost. This means that as the number of hours increases, the total cost will increase proportionally. Therefore, statement D) "The equation shows a proportional relationship, but not a linear relationship" is true based on the given equation.
