Question

In a salsa recipe, the number of tomatoes added is proportional to the amount of salt added. This graph shows the relationship.

Answer 1

For this case, the first thing you should keep in mind is that the generic equation of the line is:

$y = mx + b$

Where,

m: slope of the line or rate of cam.

b: cutting point with vertical axis.

We note that for this case, the equation of the line is:

$y = 3x$

Therefore we have:

$m = 3$

This means that 3 tomatoes are added for each teaspoon of salt.

Answer:

A. 3 tomatoes per teaspoon of salt

Answer 2
