At the coffee shop, the cost for using the internet is proportional to the time it’s 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 answer

Since the cost for using the internet is proportional to the time it's used, we can say that the relationship between the two variables is linear.

The graph that represents this relationship would be a straight line passing through the origin (0,0) since there is no cost for using the internet when the time is 0.

In this case, the x-axis represents the number of hours (x) and the y-axis represents the cost (y).

The correct graph would be a straight line with a positive slope that intersects the y-axis at (0, $0) and x-axis at ($2, 0).
