Math Problem Statement
Which of the following can be represented by the equation y = 2x? Options are Table A only, Graph B only, Table A and Graph B, or Neither Table A nor Graph B.
Solution
The problem asks which of the following can be represented by the equation , with the choices being Table A, Graph B, both, or neither.
Analyzing the options:
-
Table A:
- The equation given is , so for each value in the table, should be twice the value.
- Checking Table A:
- When , is 3. According to , should be , not 3.
- When , is 6. According to , should be , not 6.
- When , is 9. According to , should be , not 9.
- Therefore, Table A does not represent the equation .
-
Graph B:
- The equation represents a straight line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 0.
- Checking Graph B:
- The line passes through the origin (0, 0), which fits the equation .
- The slope (rise over run) between points on the line matches a slope of 2. For example, from (0,0) to (1,2), the rise is 2 and the run is 1, which gives a slope of 2.
- Therefore, Graph B represents the equation .
Conclusion:
The correct answer is B: Graph B only.
