Question

The time spent dancing (minutes) and the amount of calories burned can be modeled by the equation c = 5.5t. Which table of values matches the equation and includes only viable solutions?

A 2-column table with 4 rows. The first column is labeled time (t) with entries negative 5, 0, 5, 10. The second column is labeled calories (c) with entries negative 27.5, 0, 27.5, 55.

A 2-column table with 4 rows. The first column is labeled time (t) with entries 0, 5, 10, 15. The second column is labeled calories (c) with entries 0, 27.5, 55, 82.5.

A 2-column table with 4 rows. The first column is labeled time (t) with entries negative 20, negative 15, negative 10, negative 5. The second column is labeled calories (c) with entries negative 110, negative 82.5, negative 55, negative 27.5.

Answer 1

Because t is time, t cannot be negative, so you can eliminate any tables with negative t values

From there, check the values in the tables by plugging in the t values into the equation to make sure the c values correspond to the correct solutions
