Question

(Graphing Proportional Relationships MC)

The equation c equals one third times s represents the proportional relationship between the number of bags of cement (c) and the number of bags of sand (s) required to make concrete. A graph of this relationship is shown.

Which statement is true?


The proportional relationship is graphed correctly.
The graph does not show a proportional relationship.
Bags of Sand should be on the x-axis, and Bags of Cement should be on the y-axis.
The axes are labeled correctly with the independent and dependent variables.

Answer 1

Answer: Bags of Sand should be on the x-axis and bags of Cement should be on the y-axis

Answer 2

Bags of Sand should be on the x-axis and bags of Cement should be on the y-axis

Explanation:

c = 1/3s

When we have 3 sandbags, we should have 1 cement bag (1,3)

When we have 9 sandbags, we should have 3 cement bag (3,9)

The points are plotted correctly, the labels for both axes are just switched
