Question

The graph below shows the price, y, in dollars, of different amounts of peanuts, x, in pounds:

Number of Pounds
Which equation best represents the relationship between x and y?
y = x + 6
y = 3x
y = 6x
Oy = x + 3​

Answer 1

y=3x is the awnser because you multiply the amount of peanut butter to three

Answer 2

y=3x

Explanation:

select two points of the graph,that is on the line

i.e, (2,6) and (4,12)

now, use point slope form to find the equation

i.e, (y-6)= (12-6)/(4-2) {x-2}

i.e, y-6 = 3(x-2)

i.e, y-6 = 3x-6

i.e, y=3x
