Final answer:
The correct statement about the relationship between the purple dye and pink dye is that the ratio of the coordinates (purple to pink dye) on the graph are equivalent to the 8:3 mixing ratio.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks which statement about the relationship between the amounts of purple dye and pink dye is true when Anna mixes them to create lavender. Given that for every 8 teaspoons (tsp) of purple dye, Anna adds 3 tsp of pink dye, we can establish a ratio of purple to pink dye, which is 8:3 or â…“ for the purple dye to the pink dye.
To address the statements:
- The graph of the relationship would not pass through the point (10,5) because this does not maintain the 8:3 ratio.
- The ratio of coordinates of points on the graph representing this relationship would be equivalent to the 8:3 ratio of purple to pink dye.
- The graph of the relationship is a straight line that passes through the origin because you can have no purple dye without pink dye and vice versa.
- The constant of proportionality for purple to pink dye is incorrect as stated because the ratio provided in the question is 8:3 or 8/3, not 3/8.
Therefore, the correct statement is that the ratio of the coordinates (purple to pink dye) on the graph are equivalent, which is statement 2.
