To determine which town has the least number of dogs per neighborhood, we'll need to analyze the information provided.
1. **Town B**: The equation given is \( y = 20x \). Here, \( y \) is the total number of dogs and \( x \) is the number of neighborhoods. To find the number of dogs per neighborhood in Town B, we can express it as:
\[
\text{Dogs per neighborhood in Town B} = \frac{y}{x} = \frac{20x}{x} = 20
\]
This means Town B has 20 dogs per neighborhood.
2. **Town A**: We don't have the specific total number of dogs or the number of neighborhoods directly, but we do have a graph representing the number of dogs in Town A. Assuming the graph shows multiple neighborhoods with varying numbers of dogs, we would need to assess how many dogs there are in each neighborhood to compare.
Since we do not have the specific values from the graph for Town A, it is impossible to calculate the average number of dogs per neighborhood without that data.
Given our analysis:
- Town B has a clear average of 20 dogs per neighborhood.
- We do not have enough information about Town A to determine its average.
Therefore, the most accurate answer based on the information is:
**C. There is not enough information to determine the number of dogs per neighborhood.**
