Question

Some states pay $0.05 for each can that is recycled. Which graph represents the amount of money earned, y, by recycling x cans in these states?

A graph titled Recycling Money has cans on the x-axis and dollars on the y-axis. A line goes through points (20, 1) and (40, 2).
A graph titled Recycling Money has cans on the x-axis and dollars on the y-axis. A line goes through points (1, 20) and (2, 40).

Answer 1

his answer its A

Explanation:

Answer 2

A graph titled Recycling Money has cans on the x-axis and dollars on the y-axis. A line goes through points (20, 1) and (40, 2).

Explanation:

If a total of x numbers of cans are recycled and y in dollars is the total money to be paid, then the equation we can write

y = 0.05x ............. (1)

since for each can the payment is $0.05.

Now, we can plot the number of cans along the x-axis and the money paid along the y-axis, then the line will pass through the points (20,1) and (40,2).

{As the points satisfy the equation (1)}

Therefore, a graph titled Recycling Money has cans on the x-axis and dollars on the y-axis. A line goes through points (20, 1) and (40, 2). (Answer)
