Question

At the coffee shop, the cost for using the internet is proportional to the time it is used. It costs $2 per hour to use the internet. Select the graph drawn to show this relationship, where x represents the number of hours and y represents the cost.(1 point)

Answer 1

To represent the relationship between the cost of using the internet (y) and the time (x in hours) in a graph, you would have a linear relationship, as the cost is proportional to time.

1. **Slope/Direction**: Since it costs $2 per hour, the slope of the line would be 2, indicating that for every additional hour, the cost increases by $2.

2. **Y-Intercept**: The line would start from the origin (0,0) since if you use the internet for 0 hours, the cost is $0.

3. **Visual Characteristics**: The graph will be a straight line that starts at the origin and goes up to the right (positive slope). For example, at 1 hour (x=1), the cost (y) would be $2, at 2 hours (x=2), the cost (y) would be $4, and so on.

Look for a graph that features a straight line passing through the origin with a positive slope of 2.
