1 answer:
We are given the following conversion factor:
We are asked to determine how many miles are 140 km. To do that we use the quotient of the conversion factor where the unit we want to convert to is in the numerator and the given unit in the denominator. Since we want to find miles we use the following quotient:
Solving the operations we get:

we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form y/x=k or y=kx
so
That means it's the equation of a line passing through the origin.
case a) and case d) are discarded because the line does not pass through the origin
<u>case b) we have</u>
for x=2 y=4
y/x=k-------> 4/2=2------> k=2
y=2x-------> in this case the value of y is two times the value of x
<u>case c) we have</u>
for x=4 y=2
y/x=k-------> 2/4=1/2------> k=(1/2)
y=(1/2)x-------> in this case the value of y is one-half of the value of x
therefore
the solution is the case c) see the attached figure
