Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form or
In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin
Let
x ----> the number of acres
y ---> total operating costs
we have the ordered pair (20,551,520)
For x=20 acres, y=$551,520
<em>Find the value of the constant of proportionality k</em>
substitute the values of x and y
The linear equation is equal to
Find out how many acres are on a farm with a total operating cost of $441,216
so
For y=$441,216
substitute in the linear equation the value of y and solve for x
