s = 1/3 c (option B)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the relationship between number of cups and green chiles made, we use the equation of line formula:

y = mx + b

from the graph,

where s represents = y

x represents = c

m = slope = change in sauce/change in green chiles

we pick any two points to get the slope

using points (c, s) = (0, 0) and (6, 2)

slope = (2-0)/(6-0)

slope = 2/6 = 1/3

There is no intercept on this graph, because it starts from the origin

b = intercept = 0

The equation becomes: s = 1/3c + 0

s = 1/3 c (option B)
