A family on vacation took a road trip to Florida. Use the table to determine whether an equation in the form can be written for the situation. Explain your answer.
Florida Trip
Hours Driven (x)
Miles Traveled (y)
Choose the correct answer.
A.
Yes. Since the y-values in the table increase at a constant rate, the relationship is proportional. So, an equation can be written for the situation.
B.
Yes. Since the value of the ratio
is the same for each pair of values, the relationship is proportional. So, an equation can be written for the situation.
C.
No. Since the value of the ratio
is not the same for each pair of values, the relationship is not proportional. So, an equation cannot be written for the situation.
D.
No. Since the x-values in the table do not increase at a constant rate, the relationship is not proportional. So, an equation cannot be written for the situation.
