Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 250 \ people}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion using the following setup.

\frac {buses}{people}=\frac {buses}{people}

We know 30 buses can carry 1,500 people.

\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {buses}{people}

We don't know how many people 5 buses can carry, so we say 5 buses carry x people.

\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {5 \ buses}{x \ people}

\frac {30 }{1500 }=\frac {5 }{x }

Cross multiply. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the second fraction's denominator. Then, multiply the first denominator by the second numerator.

30*x=1500*5\\30x=7500

Solve for x. It is being multiplied by 30. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 30.

30x/30=7500\\x=250

5 buses can carry 250 people.

Answer:

Answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, the graph would still be a function, but a different function than if the values were all different. This would cause two of the values to be the same and have no slope on the line. Before, the function was quadratic, but now it would be quadratic until the two values are equal.
