Answer:
The fourth graph i.e. RIGHT BOTTOM GRAPH is correct which represents the proportional relationship given by the rule y = 3x.
Also, the correct graph is attached below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the rule
''y is 3 times the value of x".
It means
y = 3x
comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation
y = mx+b
where y is the slope and b is the intercept
so,
The slope of y = 3x will be: m = 3
The y-intercept of y = 3x will be: b = 0
CHECKING THE 4TH GRAPH (THE RIGHT BOTTOM SIDE)
Taking two points
(0, 0)
(2, 6)
Finding the slope between (0, 0) and (2, 6)
Using the formula
Slope = m = [y₂ - y₁] / [x₂ - x₁]
= [6 - 0] / [2 - 0]
= 6 / 2
= 3
Thus, the slope of the line = m = 3
We know that the value of y-intercept can be determined by setting x = 0, and determining the corresponding value of y.
From the graph, it is clear
at x = 0, y = 0
Thus, the y-intercept b = 0
Now, substituting m = 3 and b = 0 in the slope-intercept form of linear function
y = mx+b
y = 3x+0
y = 3x
Therefore, the fourth graph i.e. RIGHT BOTTOM GRAPH is correct which represents the proportional relationship given by the rule y = 3x.
Also, the correct graph is attached below.

first off let's notice that the height is 11 meters and the volume of the cone is 103.62 cubic centimeters, so let's first convert the height to the corresponding unit for the volume, well 1 meters is 100 cm, so 11 m is 1100 cm.
