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 + 200. The x-variable is the number of hours the field is being rented, the constant is the flat rate for renting the field, and the y-variable is the total cost, in dollars.

Which statement is true based on the given equation?

The equation shows a linear relationship, but not a proportional relationship.
The equation shows a linear relationship and a proportional relationship.
The equation does not show a linear relationship or a proportional relationship.
The equation shows a proportional relationship, but not a linear relationship.

Answer 1

The statement that is true based on the given equation is (c) The equation does not show a linear relationship or a proportional relationship.

How to determine the true statement?

The equation of the function is given as:

y = 25x^2 + 60

Linear equations can take any of the following forms

Ax + By = C

y = mx + c

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Any equation that takes a form different from the above forms is not a linear equation

Hence, the statement that is true based on the given equation is (c) The equation does not show a linear relationship or a proportional relationship.
