Question

on a farm there are 3 sheep for every 1 horse. if y = the number of sheep, and X = the number of horses, which graph models the relationship?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of horses

y ---> the number of sheep

In this problem the relationship between the variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation.

Remember that, if the linear equation represent a proportional variation then it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

we have

For x=1, y=3

Find the value of the constant of proportionality k

$k=\frac{3}{1}=3\ \frac{sheeps}{horse}$

substitute

$y=3x$
