Answer:

the first image (the image with the upward sloping line)

Explanation:

If the amount of sugar used in the mixture is proportional to the amount of water used, as more water is used, the more sugar is used. So, as more water is used, more sugar is used.

If the amount of water used is constant regardless of the amount of sugar, the appropriate graph would be the second graph. the graph with the straight line
