The function described by the equation \( y = 2x \) represents a **linear relationship** between an elephant's **foot circumference** (x) and its **height** (y). In this context, it suggests that for every unit increase in foot circumference, height increases by two units. This line on the graph indicates that there is a consistent, proportional relationship between these two variables for the elephants in the scatter plot.
