PLS HELP WITH THIS!! Proportional relationships can be represented through tables, graphs, equations, and verbally. Three situations are described. Situation 1: https://snag.gy/3AQoNt.jpg Situation 2:y = 5.5x Situation 3: Ms. Theriot types 105 words in 3 min. Match the representations that have the same proportional relationship as the situations described. A. https://snag.gy/6RowYe.jpg B. It takes a painter 12 h to paint 2 rooms C.https://snag.gy/p4cWgi.jpg D. y=35x E. y=6x F. https://snag.gy/NBlf1Z.jpg G. Crystal makes $5.50 per hours babysitting. Answer: situation 1: situation 2: situation 3:

I'm not really sure what the question is asking here, but I can help to make sense of the graphs and equations if that is what you need. For instance, situation 1 under question 4 is a graph of the equation "y=6x", since the line starts at (0,0) and increases by 6 vertically for every 1 increase to the right. What you're meant to do with this information, I'm not certain. For the second one, I think I can definitely help you match the graphs, equations and tables, if that's what we're looking for

SmokeyBrown:

For starters, we'll see that the first table, A, increases by 6 in terms of y for every increase in x by 1. That pattern matches the equation "y=6x", which we see in equation C. So those two would match together. Situation B states "it takes a painter 12 hours to paint 2 homes". Now, if we assume the painting is happening at a constant rate, it would take the painter 6 hours to paint 1 home. Where have we seen this 6:1 ratio? Indeed, situation B would also match with table A and equation C. Equation D describes a ratio of 35:1, which we can see in graph F. Now, that leaves G as an odd one out, since there's no other situation that matches the 5.5:1 ratio. I'm not sure if that's entirely acceptable, but it looks like that's the way things have to be.

No problem! Best of luck out there
