Study the graph below.


Coordinate plane with x-axis labeled as quantity A and the y-axis labeled as quantity B. Graph contains a line that passes through the following points: (0, 0), (3, 4) and (6, 8).



Describe the functional relationship between the two quantities in the graph.

Answer:

[tex]B=\frac{4}{3}A[/tex]

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 [tex]k=\frac{y}{x}[/tex] or [tex]y=kx[/tex]

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

In this problem we have a proportional relationship because the line passes through the origin (0,0)

Find the value of k

[tex]k=\frac{B}{A}[/tex]

take the point (3,4)

A=3,B=4

substitute

[tex]k=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

The equation of the line is

[tex]B=\frac{4}{3}A[/tex]
