Question

(07.08 MC) The graph below shows the price, y, in dollars, of different amounts of peanuts, x, in pounds: Which equation best represents the relationship between x and y? (5 points) Select one: a. y = x + 6 b. y = 3x c. y = 6x d. y = x + 3

Answer 1

B. y = 3x

Explanation:

Since the y-axis is going up by 6's and the x-axis is going up by 2's, we can see that we would need to multiply the x-axis values by 3 to get our y-values. Therefore, our linear equation for this graph is y = 3x.
