Answer: 1. A. y=17x
2. $59.50
Step-by-step explanation:
1. In the table , it can be seen that as x increases y increases with the proportionality constant k = [tex]\dfrac{y}{x}=\dfrac{51}{3}=\dfrac{85}{5}=\dfrac{119}{7}=17[/tex],.
Equation of direct variation between x and y : [tex]y=kx[/tex]
Put k= 17 , we get
[tex]y=17x[/tex] , which is the required equation.
So correct option is "A".
2. To find : The charge for renting a machine for 3.5 hours.
Put x= 3.5 in above equation , we get
[tex]y=17(3.5)=59.5[/tex]
Hence, the charge for renting a machine for 3.5 hours is $59.50.
So correct option is "B".
