Question

According to the graph, what is the value of the constant in the equation below?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cause all of the other options don't make sense, and 1 makes sense to me.

Answer 2

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

height (y-axis) = constant × width (x-axis)

let's look at the point coordinates.

remember, an ordered pair of point coordinates consists of an x value and an associated (typically calculated by a function) y value.

we see that all y values are half of the x values (3 and 1.5, 2 and 1, 7 and 3.5, 8 and 4).

so, the constant in our equation is responsible for returning half of the x value back as the y value.

what constant factor turns a number in half ?

x × c = x/2

c = 1/2

and so, A is the right answer.
