Answer 1

Answer:

Raul's claims are not correct

The equation of the graph is $y=\frac{10}{15}x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a)

we know that

The fact that the data form a straight line does not imply that it is a proportional relationship. In order for it to be a proportional relationship, in addition to the fact that a straight line must be formed, it must pass through the origin.

In this problem the graph shows a proportional relationship because the data forms a straight line and passes through the origin (0,0)

therefore

The claim that the graph shows a proportional relationship because the data forms a straight line is not correct

Part B)

Find the slope of the straight line

Let

$A(0,0),B(15,10)$

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

substitute the values

$m=\frac{10-0}{15-0}$

$m=\frac{10}{15}=0.67\frac{pages}{minute}$

therefore

The claim that he reads 1.5 pages per minute is not correct

Part C)

The equation of the graph is equal to

$y=\frac{10}{15}x$
