Question

Which graph represents viable values for y = 2x, where x is the number of pounds of rice scooped and purchased from a bulk bin at the grocery store and y is the total cost of the rice? On a coordinate plane, a straight line with a positive slope begins at point (0, 0), and ends at point (2.5, 5). On a coordinate plane, blue diamonds appear at points (0, 0), (1, 2), (2, 4). On a coordinate plane, a straight line with a positive slope begins at point (negative 2.5, negative 5), crosses the x- and y-axis at point (0, 0), and ends at point (2.5, 5). On a coordinate plane, blue diamonds appear at points (negative 2, negative 4), (negative 1, negative 2), (0, 0), (1, 2), (2, 4). Mark this and return

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is graph 1

Step-by-step explanation:

On a coordinate plane, a straight line with a positive slope begins at point (0, 0), and ends at point (2.5, 5).

Answer 2

Answer:

  On a coordinate plane, a straight line with a positive slope begins at point (0, 0), and ends at point (2.5, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distinction between "straight line" and "blue diamonds" is that the straight line represents the relation for all possible values of x. The blue diamonds show the values of y for very specific values of x.

Since x is the amount of rice from a bulk bin, we assume it can take any non-negative value. Hence, the graphs with negative values or with "blue diamonds" are not appropriate.

The straight-line graph in the first quadrant is the best choice.
