Graph C is the correct option.
If you drew a straight line (mostly) connecting the points, it would be linear. A relationship is linear if one variable, in this case, x, increases by approximately the same rate as the other variables, in this case y.
If you drew lines connecting points on the other graphs, they wouldn’t resemble a straight line, therefore, they aren’t linear.
Answer=18,482 students
17113 x
_______=_____
100% 108%
Cross multiply
100x=<span>1848204
divide both sides by 100
x=18482.04
Round to the nearest whole number
x=18,482 students</span>
(2x) + 11 < 44
x is multiplied by two because we are looking for twice of x. 11 is added to the 2x because we are looking for eleven more than the sum of twice of x. Since 2x + 11 is less than 44, we use the lesser than ( < ) symbol.
