Question

You begin painting your house with 10 gallons of paint you purchased at the hardware store. Each gallon of paint covers 400

Answer 1

Answer:

A)  linear

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the gallons of paint be represented by g, and the area by x.

Each gallon of paint covers 400 square feet of surface area.

⇒ x = 400g

So that; when g = 1,

x = 400 square feet

when g = 5,

x = 400 x 5

  = 2000 square feet

when g = 10,

x = 400 x 10

 = 4000 square feet

The relationship between the variables is linear because g and x increases at a constant rate.
