relationship

O

O

B. linear

O

C. inverse

O

D. circular

SUBMIT

Answer 1

The correct option is B.

B) Linear

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose initially the value of x is 0, for which y is also 0. When x is increased to 1, the value of y becomes 2. If the value of x is increase to 2, the value of y becomes 4. Similarly, if x is increases to 3,4, and 5, the corresponding values of y we get are 6,8 and 10.

From the above data, we can model that the above relation is:

y = 2x

I've attached the graph of this function below. We can clearly see from the graph that the relation between x and y is linear.
