B. Filtered water costs $4.00 per gallon.
C. The cost of 4 gallons of water is $1.00.
D. It takes 4 gallons of water to fill up 1 jug.
[Part of the introductory sentence is obscured.] The graph represents the volume of water in Susan’s watering can while she waters plants.

A. 1.8 liters
B. 3.0 liters
C. 3.7 liters
D. 5.5 liters
9. Which of the following is an example of a proportional relationship?
A. x | y: (1, 5), (2, 6), (3, 7)
B. x | y: (1, 6), (2, 12), (3, 18)
C. x | y: (1, 10), (2, 21), (3, 32)
D. x | y: (1, 4), (2, 7), (3, 10)
10. Which graph shows y and x in a proportional relationship?
A. [An increasing straight line that does not pass through the origin.]
B. [An increasing straight line that passes through the origin.]
C. [A vertical line to the right of the y-axis.]

Answer

  1. C. The cost of 4 gallons of water is $1.00. The x-coordinate gives gallons of water, and the y-coordinate gives the cost in dollars.

  2. D. 5.5 liters. The initial volume is the y-intercept, where the time spent watering is zero.

  3. 9. B. Each pair satisfies y = 6x, so the ratio y/x is always 6.

  4. 10. B. A proportional relationship has a straight-line graph passing through the origin, (0, 0).
