The part of the graph that could be represented by the equation y = mx + c is from 0 to 5,000 lux. (Option A).

What is a linear graph?

A linear graph is a type of graph that represents a linear relationship between two variables.

The general equation of a linear function is given as;

y = mx + c

where;

  • m is the slope of the line
  • c is the y - intercept of the line

The equation of the form y = mx + c is a straight line. Based on the data given in the graph we can see that between 0 and 5,000 lux, the line is straight and shows direct proportion.
