Answer: B. the variable y represents the pounds of roasted coffee in the 46$ purchase.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The rate of espresso = $8.50 per pound

The rate of coffee = $10.25 per pound

The equation represents a online purchase.

x+y=5 ............(1)

and 8.5x+10.25y=46.................(2)

from equation (2), 8.5 is the coefficient of x, thus variable x represents the pounds of espresso and 10.25 is the coefficient of y, thus variable y represents the pounds of roasted coffee in the total purchase of $46.

And equation (1) represents the total pounds of espresso and roasted coffee.

Hence only option B is correct.

the answer is B because the x represents the amount of espresso purchased and y represents the amount of roasted coffee purchased.

in total 5 pounds were purchased and it cost a total of $46 for the combination of types of coffee

The following graph shows a proportional relationship.
LenKa [72]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

If we look at the graph this is an increasing graph where y increases with respect to x so in other words we can say that y is directly proportional to x.

y\ \alpha\ x\\

and when we remove the proportionality sign we replace it with an equal to sign and a constant. So it becomes ,

y = kx\\

now to find the Constant of proportionality which is k we can use any ordered pair(coordinate/point) from the graph,

Lets take ( 2 , 4) where 2 represents the value of x on the x-axis and 4 represents the value of y on the y-axis so now,

y=kx\\(4)=k(2)\\4=2k\\4/2=k\\k=2\\

so the constant of proportionality is 2
